CSS For Large Portal-Style Site
I'm creating the site www.skithesky.com. While all that is currently on the site is just info, I need to have the full version running by 06-01-02.
*frantic!
I'm wondering if anyone has examples of what they implemented for a large multimedia and travel information or similar size site.
What are good font choices? How should I setup the style sheets so updating the look can be kept to a minimum?
A proposed design is available at:

Any tips, advice or examples appreciated...

Well, keep in mind that you really won't be updating the CSS that often. In fact, barring one or two items, I don't change the CSS on any of my sites unless I'm doing a redesign.
Having said that, this is the default stylesheet I use for most of my sites:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body { margin: 0px; background: #ffffff url(../images/bg_mainpage.gif); }
p, div, td {font-family: verdana; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; }
h3, h4 { margin: 0px; }
/* link colors */
a:link { font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #2b4d8a; }
a:hover { font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #000000; }
a:visited { font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #2b4d8a; }
a:visited:hover { font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #000000; }
-->

Font Choices
Thanks Creole....
Does anyone have choice fonts for small blurbs of text that frequently appear on the home page of a portal site. I've been using arial and verdana heavily.
How about for larger blocks of text such as full articles? Should I stick with a sans-serif font as well just to keep things consistent or use a serif font for readability.
I know most of these depend on your layout and desired look, but I'd like to know what works for you.
