I'm going to be reworking a lot of the style coding on the site. Originally all style sheet code was stored within a central file. The advantage of this at the time was the big speed increase and having all of your CSS loaded one time than cached by your
browser.
This meant when you went to a page the style code was already stored on your computer giving you a bit of a boost. There is a problem with this method when it comes to site maintenance. It becomes extremely difficult to manage hundreds to thousands of classes
throughout the site and not have them accidentally conflict with one another.
To fix this problem I'm going to need to go through the site and do an overhaul of classes by placing dedicated style sheet files for each page. The other advantage of this is I will start looking into themes a bit more seriously! I'll be trying to figure
out a way to organize the massive amount of CSS code into universal and page specific. I went generic things such as margins and padding to be page specific, but design elements such as buttons and colored borders to be universal.
This project will likely take place after the submission pages have been completed!
