Hey Dan

Did you know that you can use pseudo-classes?

Here's what I do on my site. I want to have 2 <p> styles,
one main one plus one for related links in my sidebar
(in the latter case, the content is right aligned).

Here are the 2 css classes:

p     {
	    margin-left: 10px;
	    padding-left: 15px;
	    margin-right: 15px;
	    padding-right: 5px;
        }

p.related {
	    text-align : right;
	    color: #000000;
	    font-family : "Trebuchet MS",Verdana, Geneva, Arial, sans-serif;
	    font-size: 11pt;
	    line-height: 120%;
	    margin-bottom: 10px;
        }

And in the HTML, the main content is all
<p>blah blah blah>
while related info is:
	<p class="related">
		This page shows the most recent pics taken with
		our digital camera. The idea is that the pics will
		reach the site in the minimum possible time and
		with the minimum possible effort.
	</p>

Cheers
Martin
