I usually start with something like this:

body {
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color: #333;
background-color: whatever;
}

But maybe it's better to plan your design and then make the content fit
the design with CSS.

I read some good advice in a newsgroup--I don't remember which one. It
said write your content first. Then mark-up the content with
(X)HTML--you are designating what the different parts of the document
are, such as the headers, the paragraphs, the lists, etc. Then add the
CSS to create the visual layout/design.
