I've never had any trouble, using all lowercase and underscores '_' in  
place of spaces to separate words to aid the eye, which is a bit more  
what the eye is used to reading than CamelCaps. 
 
I like to try to name classes and id's in css as meaningfully as  
possible, rather than describing the styling. i.e. i'd use .story_text  
in preference to .middle_content, so that when I decide that the middle  
really should be on the left, the name still remains correct. When there  
are things that are just done for presentational reasons rather than  
semantic ones,I give them obviously layout-orientated names like #column_one 
 
Having said that, recently I've taken up using hyphenated filenames as  
it's suggested Google et al. recognise each individual word that way.  
But it seems counter-intuitive to me as the normal use of a hyphen is to  
literally combine things together, not separate them...
