Any recommendations on how to apply a clean and clear CSS to a website? Apparently while building my latest site, I abused my styles often. Therefor, my site suffers from styles overload.
Is there a clear cut way to clean up my CSS? What approach should I keep in mind for my next site, so I do not choke it with overloaded styles?
Any recommendations on references to better understanding CSS?
The best way, I do this often, is to select some text and see how many styles are used within that group and start there. One item at a time. Then you will be able to combine styles or create new styles that you can then use the Inspector to remove all styles from a group of text and then apply a single style.
Often it’s hard to start out just writing styles and sticking to them because creativity flows later on and typically not right away. I know I can design a site and think I have it all figured out CSS wise until I have a “lightbulb” moment and say to myself “perhaps this will work better” and then I can adapt to those changes. One of those easier said then done moments, but just work at it and you’ll find that CSS is something you grow into understanding with each site you create.
