thanks guys that answers it for me. i know the redundant bits equate to a fraction of a fraction of a second, but somehow i feel better being rid of them.

i figured they could go, but had that nagging “what if” thought.

zeniph- i have done a few searches and looked at several templates. you’re right, there’s a lot out there.

well it’s the default theme, so i figured you all had a copy.

I guess I will clarify the above example. There are several sections to the style.css file. There is a typography section for all the lovely text and background formatting. There is also a structure section that deals with the padding, margins, position, etc.

in typography we have this:
#page {
background-color: white;
border: 1px solid #959596;
text-align: left;
}

in structure we have this:
#page {
background-color: white;
margin: 20px auto;
padding: 0;
width: 760px;
border: 1px solid #959596;
}

As you can see there is a bit of repetition with the CSS. That’s just one example among many. Is there a reason that would be there other than to create a nightmare for updating the CSS?

I can strip it all out no problem, but if someone has a cleaner version it would make things a bit easier as the file is nearly 700 lines long, and tracking down redundancies kind of sucks.
