So, much kudos. On a side note, anyone reading the above and wondering what the fix for ie6 min-height is: <code>#mydiv{ min-height:400px; height:auto !important; height 400px; }</code> ;) I’ve stumbled across your site, I’m looking for some research material for my junior to bury her head into and you’ve some great articles for up-and-coming developers.

I never thought of that but it's true. Tomorrow, I'll start changing folder names! Excellent point Duncan. I never thought of that but it’s true.

Tomorrow, I’ll start changing folder names!

One little note on folder names though: "css" and "js" describe both the technology name rather than the purpose and at some point in the future you'll probably find yourself putting content that isn't css/javascript in those folders. Maybe something like "style" and "behaviour" (or an abbr. of) would make for more stable URIs. W3C mentions this point at http://www.w3.org/TR/chips/#gl3, which is basically a hugely bloated version of what you wrote.

I now use the Yahoo! YUI reset.css (and fonts.css) to standardise the margins and padding for those elements that need it.
