External Style Sheets

likewise....I'd say if you know (and can guarantee) all sites will still maintain stability and consistency in "multiple" layouts and designs, I would think making things easier by an external style sheet is good. I think to do this I would assume (and hope) you are a very organized person to know what a change in a style will do to "all" of your sites. The issues with different browsers is key as well which I think was noted...nothing worse than to make a global change and find out something looks wacked somewhere....lol

At least in my case...I never use the same css on multiple sites. I might use another slightly altered version, but never pulled from exactly the same file. Precisely for the reason you mention...it would be far too easy to forget a particular nuance from a previous site and blow something out. Very good tip pointing out not to use them across multiple sites Goonie

Since css are small in size, it's no biggie to store em in a folder on your server. And for a large site, they're almost indespensable...allowing site wide visual changes with one file change.
