In most projects, I have all of my styles in one CSS file. One 50k HTTP request is faster than five 10k HTTP requests. I just have to make sure to organize that one file very well. In a recent rails project however, it made more sense to break our stylesheets into layout and controller specific files that were automatically added to the correct pages. It's working out pretty well. @Onur Yeah, I agree on the multiple files point. In most projects, I have all of my styles in one CSS file. One 50k HTTP request is faster than five 10k HTTP requests.

I'm not really sure about #4 though. Each separate CSS file means additional HTTP requests, and performance-wise it's better to use just one CSS. For more info, check out http://www.amazon.com/High-Performance-Web-Sites-Essential/dp/0596529309 Then again, it probably doesn't matter for beginners. Good Article!
