There are a handful of CSS attributes that can be combined into a single attribute for coding brevity. I endorse the use of CSS shorthand whenever possible. It saves space and makes code more readable. In this screencast I introduce all of the common ones and go over a few gotchas that can happen when using them.

Being organized and using good formatting in your CSS files can save you lots of time and frustration during your development process and especially during troubleshooting. The multi-line format makes it easy to browse attributes but makes your file vertically very long. The single-line format keeps your file vertically short which is nice for browsing selectors, but it’s harder to browse attributes. You can also choose how you want to group your CSS statements. Do you do it by section, like header, content, footer? Or do you do it by types of attributes like typography and layout? Being organized, hierarchical, and using CSS shorthand will go a long way in making you a better CSS coder. [url=http://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts/8-css-formatting/]See Original article[/url]
