This way, a client has all of that information right there in case they run into a problem. Something like below:/* Table of Contents: File Created: March 11th 2008 File Last Edited: March 13th 2008 File Creator: Mike Smith Contact File Creator: myemail@address.com */ I use the table of content section at the top of the css file to also add when the file was created and the last time it was edited, my email address, ect.

I'm hoping to cover that technique in a future article. :)I personally rarely use that technique, however, because I don't tend to think of my websites as organized according to typography vs. layout. I see a "sidebar" (for example) as a cohesive unit, with its own layout and typographical considerations. I quickly get annoyed when I want to bump up a header size by a few percentage points and move it by a couple of pixels, and that requires me to edit more than one style sheet.

I've seen sites that break the css into separate files such as: reset.css, typography.css, layout.css, etc. Do you see any value in approaching the organization that way instead?
