I’m fairly up on my CSS specificity, but it’s always nice to have a new way to explain it to those that may not quite grasp the concept. CSS-Tricks.com has a nice point-based system that will help anyone regardless of skill level iron out those specificity issues that pop up from time to time.

Based on this point system, a current project I’m wrapping up has a single line weighing in at 224 — not too shabby, but I’m sure I could get more specific if need be.
