Having del.icio.us‘d this, I thought it would be good to highlight the number of tools to make your management of CSS easier.

A selection of tools to help you clean up your CSS and optimize it by reducing the number of empty lines in the code. However, bear in mind, this may make it very hard to follow when doing future updates to your CSS files.

One that I found useful is the CSS Redundancy Checker for checking larger CSS files and large web sites, it looks at any redundant code and repetitive code you may have. Especially if dealing with a large site that has code from previous layouts and styles. Again cleaning up the files, making leaner and cleaner.

Announced by Ev, in a very subtle announcement.

All I can say is.. ‘oh dear, please stop making it more addictive than it is already’.. Probably one of the most visited sites in my daily routine, apart from gmail and the google reader.

It’s a tempting offer.. to add to the ever growing suite of ways to keep in touch with your friends and colleagues..
