CSS standards for a team
Good points in these posts. Wordpress templates have a certain structural standard. But digging into the CSS of various themes is a series of landmines. In many cases I take the visual model and end up re-coding the CSS to get something coherent. I’ve recently started working on larger programming and web projects with a team, and I’m really appreciating the wisdom of some coding standards! Drink the coolaide!

The broad groups that I use are: typography, forms, layout, navigation and colour. These aren’t set in stone and some projects require more or less categories.

Last but not least is formatting the stylesheets for easy consumption later. A consistent format for your team’s source code will allow anyone to make changes with the minimum of orientation. This is good old common sense and anyone who’s ever worked on ANY programming project in a team environment will understand the benefits.
