Much of the css I look at is unnecessarily bloated because the
author either doesn't understand inheritance or is not use the principles.
Inheritance is a powerful concept. If you start your css with global
rules, something like:
body {
padding: 20px;
color: #333;
font: normal 12px/16px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: #E4E9EC url(/magazine/magazine-graphics/tile.gif)
center repeat-y;
}
h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h5 { header rules}
Then you only have to deal with the exceptions since everything
inheritances from
body, etc.
