      #content p {

      }



#footer {

    border: 1px solid #000000;

}

I would do

PHP Code:


			
#content { color:#FFF; }

  #content a { color:#090; }

  #content a:hover { color:#0C0; }

  #content p { clear:left; }

#footer { border:1px solid #000; }

I always keep the css to 1 line. When you start spacing them out the files get so damn long. We widescreen monitors for a reason. Use them. Also if you put the attributes in alpha order its even easier to find them. (ie border, color, float, width..)

Same thing when I am programming I would do it in the format of

PHP Code:


			
class blah 

{

  function hello

  {

    if( a == b ) { 

      echo "Question"; 

      for(x = 0; x < 10; x++) {

        x++;

        print x;

      }

    } 

  }

}

You sound really arrogant

So just a question on your "1-line-css-rules": What would you do if you have a really big CSS rule? Still on 1 line? Widescreen does have its limits, and IMO it's easier to read if it's spaced out - even if it makes the document longer.
