Need some defaults, standards, and maybe a little shimmer applied to you work, then look no further. Below you’ll find some great links to some “kick-ass” resources. Enjoy and code well.

Start with a clean slate and use Eric Meyer’s “baseline” style sheet:
http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/04/14/reworked-reset/

Or try Faruk Ates’s “initial” style sheet:
http://kurafire.net/lab/initial.css?v21

Next, slap IE into standard compliancy with this JavaScript library:
http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/

Also, this is great for making IE apply the hover state to anything (if you don’t use the IE JS library above):
http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html

Need a little extra “zip” then learn and use the jquery library, it’s the one I recommend:
http://jquery.com/

Lastly, when you have the time, check out this style guide:

    Matthew, would love it if you would switch to a full content feed instead of excerpts only.
