You will notice that after a while you are writing the same styles for different elements or want to use different styles for one element (or a group of elements for that part). Hence the practice of "grouping".

*You can group selectors, declarations or everything.* Let's say you want all your heading levels to have the same color. Instead of making a rule for each heading separate, you can group them like this:

H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 {color: blue;}

Or maybe you want your paragraphs and just your heading level 4 to be blue? No problem:

3

H4, P {color: red;}

Okay, but i want my H1 to have blue text, Arial font, font-size of 18 pixels and with a red background. Now what? Do i have to write three times those rules with H1? Of course not. You'll group your declarations like this:

H1 { font : 18px Arial; color: blu; blue; background: red;}

Okay, now you know how to group selectors and declarations. Let's mix all this into one single method of grouping. Let's just group everything.

I want all of my headings to have a blue color with a red background and Arial font with a font-size of 18 points. Well, no problem:

H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 {font : 18pt Arial; color: blue; background: red;}

Or maybe your paragraphs and just your headings with level 4 and 6 need these styles? Here you go:

H4, H6, P {font : 18pt Arial; color: blue; background: red;}
