Print stylesheets have been around for a number of years and have been written about a lot. Yet so few websites implement them, meaning we're left with web pages that frustratingly don't properly print on to paper..."

- How to Use CSS for Search Engine Optimization
- By Mikhail Tuknov. Webreference.com, 2 January 2007. "... Another major benefit of CSS is that it makes your Web site SEO friendly. The reason behind this is simple. Search engines spiders are actually lethargic. They don't go through the bundles of HTML code to get to the indexed codes. Font tags and tables make HTML code cumbersome, and thus reduce the accuracy of the results. If you use external CSS files to determine the design attributes, the HTML code will be clean and will create better search engine rankings..."

- Switchy McLayout: An Adaptive Layout Technique
- by Marc van den Dobbelsteen. A List Apart Magazine, December 19, 2006. "CSS-based liquid layout has proven successful during the reign of 800-pixel to 1024-pixel screens, but as we use a wider range of devices to access the web, we need more powerful and flexible ways of managing layout. If we want to serve devices whose viewports range from 240 pixels to about 1680 pixels - and with resolution ranging from 72 to 150 pixels per inch - we need a new method..."

- by Trenton Moss. Webcredible, December 2006. "There are a small handful of new CSS commands that you can now use for Internet Explorer 7. Well, they're not really new - most other browsers have supported them for a long time and IE is only just catching up.

- By John Gallant and Holly Bergevin. Community MX, November 8, 2006.

- CSS Styling for Print and Other Media
- By Ian Lloyd. Digital Web Magazine, November 20, 2006. "There are many different media types that you can apply to CSS, some of which are more useful than others, and they let you specify the look, feel, or sound of the web page that is linked to the CSS files. In this section, we’ll look at the various media types that are available (as gleaned from the official source, namely the W3C: www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/media.html#q1). However, rather than list them all and suggest wonderfully practical ways to use them, we’ll break the list down into two categories: useful and not-so-useful (read: which ones you’re likely to use on a day-to-day basis in the foreseeable future, and those that you won’t touch in a month of Sundays)..."
