Stylesheets are all very well, but as I understand them, (do correct me if I'm wrong - it's been known...) aren't they a sort-of template, to which several pages refer for their layout?
That's one of it's benefits, it's not so much a template as a description of how to lay out various elements on the screen/page/some medium. You can define different stylesheets for different media, which is damned useful.
I *COULD* think of the point of having a lot of pages following the same arrangement on a commercial site with many products or services in different classes, or for rendering albums of pics, but for writing a 'creative' website, I'd prefer straight HTML.
I'd rather a well written site using XHTML and CSS, thank you. CSS doesn't neccessarily have to be in a seperate file, it's quite possible to have it in the top of each page, if you want, in the head section, using <style type="text/css>csshere</style>, and also you can use it on a per tag basic with the attribute style="css here".
<center> is depricated, <font> is depricate, most layout elements are depricated, tables should be used for tabular data *NOT LAYOUT*. CSS can make somethings a lot easier, and anything else, well, you probably shouldn't be doing anyways ;)
