Now that I am setting up my portfolio I have found that, there is a place for all style methods, depending on the website demands. the linked default style sheet commands the whole while an imported style sheet is useful for a few pages that might want to keep the basic default styles but with a slightly different look. I find this so much easier than fiddling around with classes and ids. The embedded approach is also useful if there is only one page that needs a few changes. In fact for individual style changes of perhaps just one line or word that is unique to that page but will not re-occur, going back to HTML styling is also useful. I think this about what is the quickest and easiest way to achieve conformity without being stuck in it.
