My experience of CSS

Use descendant selectors carefully, especially for build in html text labels such as <p> and <span>. Descendant selector is convenient to specify general text style only when you already have a whole picture what your website should be look like, or the descendant selector rules may contradict the selector which you want to another kind of style for a identified paragraph. An example:

#container p {
font-color: #000000;
font-size: 16px;
}

#container #someDiv .identifiedP {
font-color: #ff0000;
font-size: 12px;
}

<div id="container">

<div id="someDiv">

<p id="identifiedP">
Text here will be black rather than red as you specify.
</p>

</div>

</div>
