Any Web developer who codes CSS on a regular basis likely has conventions, official, or ad hoc, that they’ve created for themselves to save themselves time and effort. Standard style declarations for common layout or typography needs are found in many places on the Internet.
Mark pointed me to blueprintcss, a framework for css coding. It provides some structure, styles, and naming conventions that make common layouts very simple and fast to develop. The only thing I’m noticing about it, in my cursory digging through the code, is that its style declarations are not very “semantic” in nature. An argument could possibly be made here, but I still prefer styles like “sitemeta” to “column span-3”, a less descriptive naming convention.
All in all, looks very useful.
