 * Hi,
    I’m designing a WordPress theme for public release and want to know what
   the standard practice is when creating CSS files. Do developers use browser specific
   CSS files (ie: separate css files for IE6 and IE7) or do they use only one global
   CSS file? thanks.

 * Personally I use separate files. A global file would mean having to resort to
   hacks for IE – which bites back eventually. So I prefer to develop for the standards-
   compliant browsers initially and then serve up short remedial sheets for IE8 &
   7.
