Yes, CSS can buy us a lot in maintainability and consistency. We just
have to be a bit careful when we use it. For instance, in this change
the "red" class name should probably go away. Removing the class and
making all <h3> elements have a standard style with:
h3 {
color: maroon;
}
works too. It also lets us easily change the default appearance of H3
elements to a more blog-like style later on, without having to remember
what `red' means:
h3 {
color: #666;
margin: 0;
padding: 2em 0 2px 0;
border: 0;
border-bottom: 1px dashed #369;
}
I am very much in support of using CSS as much as possible for the style
of the pages, if it matters at all.
