3 CSS issues I encounter with every layout

Like many developers I’ve taken a PSD and created a website template from the image dozens of times. And like many developers I’ve got a set of steps that I follow each time. I also know that most developers have slightly different set of steps which is what inspired me to write how I solve three pretty common CSS issues I encounter when I create a website template. These aren’t original solutions, I’ve either read about them or been told about them by other developers. But they’re in my toolkit and I use them consistently without even thinking about them. To me they have become a part of how I write CSS and I realized after being asked a question about a CSS sheet I wrote that not everyone may have encountered them, especially those just starting out.

So here’s my top three (two are pretty standard and one is a little obscure). I’m sure there are many more, feel free to add yours in the comments.
