Since I'm completely overhauling my fic/icon website, I want to be as user-friendly as possible (well, within my personal aesthetic tastes, that is). Take two seconds to tick a few boxes and I will be eternally grateful, and also my site will be prettier.

For compatibility, it's always best to test your CSS in several browsers. IE, particularly, has crappy CSS support. Firefox is pretty good and Opera is excellent.

Making things work both IE and standard-compliant browsers will make you tear your hair out though. The best way to go about it is: 1. Accept that a part of your visitors might see the website slightly askew or 2. Detect user's browser and apply a style sheet customized for that browser.

I love having fun with multiple style sheets. The homepage of fourhobbits.net (http://www.fourhobbits.net) will load a different style sheet everytime the page is loaded, and on nightfall.fourhobbits.net (http://nightfall.fourhobbits.net) users can select a style at the top and it'll stay with them as they surf the various pages. They're not "pure" CSS though, I still use tables.

Yeah, I always test it in a few browsers -- even when I was just using plain html, IE used to fuck it up. Now, IE makes this version a bit uglier than it should be, but there's nothing particularly screwy. Here's hoping. I'm not sure I'm good enough at css yet to really play around with browser-customized style sheets just now...
