Anyone have a simple explanation of how to organize and efficiently write CSS?

I am beginning to use CSS for a ton of things and I am sure there is better and easier ways to write my CSS more efficiently. Does anyone have a small tutorial that they could write up for me of common practices or just have a couple resources that they found really helpful?

Thanks Multani, it helped a little bit but most of this stuff I already knew. Maybe there isnt that much more to organizing and better practices. I'm going to leave this question posted for a little while longer to see if anyone else has any feedback for me on things that they've learned, etc.

I'm looking for more of a "CSS for dummies" because I have a ton of crap in my CSS and I've looked at some other CSS and it seems to be a lot cleaner. Is there a page out there that has a "5 quick steps to writing efficient CSS" tutorial out there?

Shashi,

I'm looking more for the organization of CSS, not to do it. I would like a methodology on how to title your elements, organize your elements, etc.

CSS is easy when you have a few elements, but when you start defining hundred of things it can get a bit messy. I am looking for the organization aspect and how people label their definitions, title their CSS, organize the elements, etc.

Thanks
