I coded all my themes and CSS manually by using EditPlus 2, by hand. But when coded in text editor, your code might unstructureable and will slow down your site. That is why you need something that can optimize and tidy up your files.
Here has come a website called Clean CSS. Clean CSS is a nice utility that will tidy up your CSS file and will optimize it to make your site load faster. For an example, instead of
padding-top: 10px;
padding-right: 5px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-left: 5px;
Clean CSS will tidy it into like this
padding: 10px 5px 10px 5px;
Beside that, Clean CSS will remove all unnecessary things and will pack your CSS file into smaller package.

wow, very useful service. i found another site which also offer css compression (sorry, forgot the url already), but this one is better since it know how to combine similar css options into single line style 🙂
I’m using Notepad++, btw, the one that yout point here is css shorthand..We can use it to margin and border properties also.. 😉
i just use standard notepad. i never thought both codes was differ in term of “clean” /:)
wow…just wanna release my new theme… 😀

erm, actually can have a shorter, which is
padding: 10px 5px;
applies to
padding-top and padding-bottom: 10px
padding-left and padding-right: 5px
or padding: 10px 5px 12px;
where
padding-top: is 10px
padding-left and right is 5px
padding-bottom is 12px
😉
Thanks mate!
