- During July 2006, the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) developed a guideline for a naming convention for the structural elements of a web page (cascading style sheets) that they hope will be taken up by developers across the Victorian State Government to provide structure and consistency when constructing web pages.

- 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..."

- by Marc van den Dobbelsteen. A List Apart Magazine, December 19, 2006.

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..."

- 12 Lessons for Those Afraid of CSS and Standards
- by Ben Henick. A List Apart Magazine, 26 September 2006. "There are plenty of excellent books and articles out there, including many written by the contributors to this publication. While most of those works gracefully walk the inexperienced developer through challenging layouts and teach by literal example, few of them acknowledge that using CSS to create standards-friendly sites requires a mindset that is alien to many experienced developers. This requirement hamstrings a lot of talented people, and for two years I've been looking for the words that will heal their pain. The cries of frustration I hear from other developers about CSS are only an echo of the ones I made for years. As a result I like to think that I can relate, and I'm writing to convey the most important lessons I've learned so far..."

- Browser Support for CSS
- By Kynn Bartlett. Webreference.com, 12 September 2006. "CSS rules are always interpreted by Web browsers, just as the HTML pages those rules style are interpreted. The HTML and CSS standards give specifics on how browsers should display those rules - but they're not always followed. To design pages with CSS, you not only need to know the standards, as presented in the CSS specification, but also understand how browsers' quirks and flaws will affect your Web design results..."

- Text-Resize Detection
- by Lawrence Carvalho, Christian Heilmann. A List Apart, September 12, 2006. "When you design for the web, you don’t know what software people will use to experience your site, and you don’t know what capabilities your users (and their software) have. Flexible layouts and resizable type can eliminate a lot of worst-case usability and design scenarios, but it’s still extremely difficult to create page layouts that don’t break even if the user increases the type size by more than a few settings. Stick around and we’ll give you a way to detect your visitors’ initial font size setting - and a way to find out whenever your visitor increases or decreases the font size. Why would you want to know these things? Because with this knowledge in hand, you can create a set of stylesheets that adapt your pages to the users’ chosen font sizes, preventing overlapping elements and other usability and design disasters..."
