>From my experience I tend to use a difference ID for the body tag, for
instance <body id='homepage'> and then format it in my CSS using ID
reference:
#homepage .classname {
color: blue;
}
This way you can use a default format for all the pages and create minor (or
major) changes in the theme in no time :)
I would also suggest to attach the CSS filename reference at the <head> tag
the update time of the file, so that the browser will automatically update
the cache of the CSS whenever you decide to edit it.
Just my 2 cents ;)
