Stylesheets are an excellent way of controlling the appearance of a site. 
There are two general tips I have:

         o Use XHTML 1.0 Strict as much as possible. This keeps all your 
formatting information in the CSS, which makes it much easier to get the 
effect you want.

         o Validate your CSS and try to get rid of all warnings as well - 
see http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ A valid, warning free stylesheet 
will, at the very least, degrade gracefully most of the time.

It also makes sense to check your sites in a range of browsers, but that 
isn't specific CSS advice :-)
