Stylize!
When you start your project, make sure you also create a style sheet file. Why? Consistency, Maintenance, Uniformity, and a ton of other $10 words. Style sheets are text files that contain formatting information. They can apply to your entire site, so that if you want to for example, change all the fonts in ALL you site's tables, you can do it in one file, in one line of code. Style sheets can contain information such as table widths, font styles, background colors and images, etc. For a better example, see www.meridiandevelopmentsystems.com/lifetips/02.htm. The CSS specification can be found at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ - this contains the actual CSS implementation as per the w3.org
