For the time being let's stick to one css file. This looks much better! As I mentioned in my email to you (which I just sent moments ago), I will not be able to work on the site until January. That's unfortunate, but I'll try to keep up with this list. As with the CSS, I remembered that I forgot to mention one thing. I said that the cascade will allow us to have a separate printable page (e.g. http://www.aaronshi.com/gentoo/guidepageprint.html), but what I forgot to say is that it'll also allow the normal page to look like the printable page if you hit print preview in your browser (i.e. if you print preview http://www.aaronshi.com/gentoo/guidepage.html it will look like the printable page). One of my prior comments about adding the printable CSS line to make it printable is incorrect. The line is in fact already there, the only difference is that in the normal page we set the attribute media="print" so it only takes effect in print. I know in my reference pages I have a few lines for incorporating the various CSS files, but in reality, we can use 1 CSS file to import all the others. Would this work? Of course, very old browsers like Netscape 4 will not be able to import the additional sheets, but then again they doesn't handle much CSS anyway. Really, the proper method is import, but I resorted to linking all the CSS files individually in HTML so very old browsers will be able to obtain the external CSS.
