I would say that as long as you have a good understanding of the CSS you're using, it doesn't matter if you have a code 'library' as it were. If it speeds up development, and it is appropriate to use it, go for it! I would encourage everyone learning web design / development to hand code as much as possible rather than use a WYSIWIG editor though - that's the way to really gain an understanding of what you're doing. Cheers, John Hi Matt, thanks for the comment!

How much of the web design you do is based on remembering and hand-typing CSS / PHP and how much is done using visual editing, cut/paste from a file of your favorite saved codes and then tweaking them? I use CSS, but I have a collection of my commonly used CSS and can cut/paste it in to pages and later tweak them. I use Dreamweaver mostly. I'm wondering what would qualify me to say I can use CSS on a CV. Thanks for your help. Hi.
