Why do I have two CSS sheets? Should I merge them? How?

As I've been working on this site, I simply copied pages by 'saving as' to make the next page, since they are very similar and use the same text sizing (except for one which has become the 'black sheep.')
Now, after the fact, when the site is basically done, I see there are two CSS files associated with this site, I only made one to start with 'base.css'. Now there is also a file called 'base_sample_pgs.css' which I did not, knowingly, make.
I want to clean up the site and resolve type font sizing issues on one of the pages, and while I've heard of designers using separate CSS files for fonts, colors, etc., which is a great idea for very large sites, I'm thinking it would be best if I had only one CSS file for a small site like mine with only a dozen or so pages. I'm thinking two CSS files are the cause of some conflict already with font sizing on one of the pages.
What do you think? Should I merge the CSS into one file? Would it help diagnosing problems? If so, what is the best way to do this?
TIA,
Ken

OK, I'm looking at your capabilities.html page and there is a reference to only one CSS style sheet:
<link href="base.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Then you have some page-specific CSS that follows.
If what you are asking is whether or not you ought to pull the page-specific stuff into your base.css file, that only matters if you are using exactly the same styles in all pages. You can define different types of pages in 1 CSS style sheet, like a three-colum and a two-column layout and that works just fine. But you can also choose to have one stylesheet for the three-column pages and another for the two-column pages. Additionally, you may have a completely separate style sheet for just your menu (I have that on lots of my work).
The question for your question is, which is easier for you to manage?
In the case of many of my menu stylesheets, it is much more sensible to keep those style sheets separate from the main page. I think in terms of navigation when I am in them, I think in terms of general styles when I am in the other style sheets.
I have also seen some professionals use one style sheet to define text styles, another to define page layouts and a third to define menus. All that is completely dependent on thought process.
So this is "answering a question with a question," but what I am trying to do is get you to realize the answer in your own thought process.

    I have two itunes accounts, can I merge them?

    If you are using a username for your account, you will need to change it to an email address that is required by the system now. If both your accounts are using the same email, you will need to provide another one as you will not be able to use an email for multiple accounts.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have two accounts and want to merge them

    Somehow I managed to create two Apple ID's. This started even before I got a Mac but when I opened my iTunes account...
    Anyway, how do I merge them or do I have to figure out how to delete one profile? I'm only one person with one iPod and well, two Mac towers.

    I do not work for Apple. This is a user-to-user forum. I am a user just like yourself.
    My apologies if you misunderstood my intent.
    I am not mad at all and I am certainly not trying to start an argument.
    I was simply just pointing out that this is the same for all tech companies and not just Apple.
    Maybe it is simply that your exposure is only with Apple. I work in IT and spend my day managing a Windows network and the same refresh cycles exist. If you stand still, tech passes you by. I still have old machines on the network that serve their purpose and as long a s they do, it is irrelevant  to me if they are supported or not.
    I love my old G5 but it's now collecting dust because it still runs but it's "outdated".
    Being "outdated" certainly does not make it useless. If it does not do what you need it to do then that is a different story. Hardware improves, software takes advantage of it and eventually old technologies become insufficient to run newer software. You certainly have the option to run the older software on the older machine but if you want the new bells & whistles it requires improved hardware. It is a matter of expectation.

    You can't merge accounts, nor transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it

  • Is it possible to have two music libraries and eventually merge them?

    I've got an old workhorse G4 desktop and a relatively new Aluminum laptop. I'm planning on buying an Intel desktop machine when they become available. In the meantime, I'm hoping to migrate everything to the laptop and use it exclusively. The problem is that the iPhoto and iTunes libraries are big and will get bigger.
    Is there a way to have separate libraries on an external firewire disk and the internal (80 GB) drive on the laptop? So I'd be able to listen to music on the go and yet have access to all my music when I park the laptop at my desk and hook up peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, etc.)?
    And...when I finally buy that screaming Intel desktop machine, with a big internal drive, can I merge all this material together again?
    Or, put it more generally -- how do you use a laptop, when it doesn't have space for those digital media files that we have all come to love?
    Thanks very much for any light anyone can shed.
    Steve

    Yes, it is. Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down as needed, or use separate Windows user accounts.

    Hi,
    Lightroom 5.x and CC will be installed side by side. You may uninstall the prior version one you’re comfortable in the new version of Lightroom.

    Why do I have two icons for iMovie '11 after downloading the update from the App Store?  Previously I had iMovie '09.

    Do you see two versions of iMovie in your Application folder?
    You can drag the icons out of the dock and then drag what you want back to the dock from the Application folder.

  • Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts

    Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts and without syncing each phone to each other?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, providing you with your own contacts, calendars etc, not doing so will result in exactly what you have experienced. The contacts have likely been lost due to the options you have chosen at the login stage on each device.
    Unless you have the missing contacts in a backup file, they won't be recoverable unfortunately. You can add them manually to the contracts that already exist and continue to share the iCloud account if you wish, but I suggest that you each have your own iCloud account.
    Note, you can each have your own iCloud account, but continue to share an iTunes account for purchases of apps, books, music, TV shows etc etc.

  • I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

    I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

    I don't believe that there is a way to do that.  I would sugest using automatic downloads to keep your apps synced across both phones.  You might also want to note that just about any app you have ever download will be available for free download via icloud.
    Wish I could be more help.
