When it comes to designing and developing a web site the load time is one consideration that is often ignored, or is an afterthought once the majority of the design and structure is in place. While high-speed internet connections are becoming increasingly common there are still a significant portion of web users out there with 56k connections, and even those with broadband connections aren't guaranteed to have a fast connection to your particular server. Every second that a user has to wait to download your content is increasing the chance of that user deciding to move on.

You ain't talking about how to avoid code bloat but to use stylesheet to seperate structure from layout. I'd be better if you touched questions like usage of semantic tags to avoid div clouds, usage of css classes instead of inline stylesheets, etc. Then again the size of HTML documents matters not the people using 56K connections but mobile users, netcafe surfers, and so on.

maybe that can be part 2, but for a simple guide, it'll do.
