There are plenty of basic, but sometimes confusing parts of CSS.
Even after you begin to get a handle on the form and function of the language, it’s always good to have a road map, game plan or blueprint for your code. Just try going back and making edits to a CSS stylesheet you made a year ago!
After reading about OOCSS (Object Oriented CSS) on Smashing Magazine, I was inspired to both keep the concept in mind when editing stylesheets, but also implementing this concept when starting fresh.

One of my first website clients asked that their printouts look better.
At first, it took me off guard. It is a website after all.
However, they were in the real estate business, so it totally made sense why they wanted their property listings to print out good. Not only did potential clients print out the properties, but they would use their own website as a resource, too.
