Okay, so i'm learning how to clean and catagorize up my style sheet. And, I have no clue what would go under Typography.

My guess would be all the h1-6 tags, a tags, and p tags, etc would I be right?

And, how do you categorize your style sheet? Or do you not even do that?

Typography refers to the text - so any styling for text would go into that category.

I do not categorize my css in that way.

My guess would be all the h1-6 tags, a tags, and p tags, etc would I be right?

No you wouldn't.

<h>eading elements and <p>aragraph elements are structural

in sections;

common rules:
header rules:
navigation rules:

and so on.

Hm thanks! I'll do that for now on! [Just trying to keep my css clean]

Generally I use the method of:

/* CSS Reset */

/* Global Element Styles (Body, a, h1, h2, h3 etc */

/* Generic Classes (Clearing paragraph etc) */

/* Structure in the order of the HTML, i.e. Header, Navigation, Left Column, Content etc */

/* Specific Classes, Darkheading, Portfolio Images etc etc etc */

/* Any additional fixes, hacks or specific required classes and styles */

I have read about alphabetising your parametors too, I think it was either on Smashing Magazine or Nettuts.

Example:

#someId {
     width:100%;
     background:#fff url(/img/bg.jpg) no-repeat 0 0;
     z-index:10;
     color: #333;
     float:left;
}

Would become:

#someId {
     background:#fff url(/img/bg.jpg) no-repeat 0 0;
     color: #333;
     float:left;
     width:100%;
     z-index:10;
}

Although if you optimise your style sheet on launch aphabetising would become redundant, I have never found it particually useful or worth the time it takes to organise however it may be of interest to you.
