Hmm. I'll look for a good example... But I think the theory of it might be misleading you. It sounds like your fears of frustration are exactly the kind of anger problems I used to have with 1000+ line css files. Put it this way - what you want is to try and work out why some element's position inside your right hand column is mucking up. Would it drive you crazy to go through the relatively svelte layout.css and find your objects at a glance, or would you find it easier to open up allthestyles.css and say "Right, I know it's in here somewhere...". > I do try and group stuff logically within that though, putting all of > my H elements by each other, "left column" container right near the > "list column navigation" div. Stuff like that. Everybody needs their own method. You say you like to keep you Hs together - for me that's at the beginning of the typography file, and I don't want to have to sift through all that if I have an image or layout adjustment to make. But then what you say about 'left column' etc makes me think maybe you prefer a listing of rules that deals with objects as they appear sequentially in the markup. Maybe you'd find it easier to deal with css files grouped by area rather than category, say header.css navigation.css main.css footer.css? I think there's a consensus on the notion that everyone needs to group things the way they already group things mentally, but when you're dealing with hundreds upon hundreds of lines of code, I'd imagine you need at least some kind of partitioning of your css files - if not for yourself than for future webmasters and script-kiddies! Bear in mind this is coming from somebody who takes out a couple of days before launch date to reduce his css code volume by 50%!
