I like the reset styles you used in your presentation like body{font-size:small} and img{display:block; border:none}, etc. And, your tip on partial attributes was great. Have you reviewed any css frameworks such as BlueprintCSS, YAML, and YUI CSS Grids?
I saw that you commented on Eric Meyer’s reset reloaded. You said you would stick with the universal reset, but you didn’t say why. Does it just work better for you to reset all (even textarea and input)? I think it’s interesting that Eric’s reset is a variation based on the Yahoo reset.css. I like the idea of using css frameworks as a starting point for building your own.

Hi Sheri,
Glad you liked the presentation. Though I haven’t tried any of the frameworks in “real life”, I did look through BlueprintCSS & Tina used it to implement the current Refresh design.
That’s exactly why I stick with the universal reset - virtually all CSS based designed I’ve done, I’ve had to do some styling to form elements so I end up resetting them in way or another. At the end of the day it’s personal preference.
