Stylesheets

I'm trying to figure out the best practice as far as stylesheets. I know you have to put normalize.css first and then your custom stylesheets after. My question is; Is it better to have only one stylesheet instead of style.css responsive.css main.css. I had eithr read online or through youtube that it's better practice to limit the stylesheets to just the normalize.css and one style.css sheet and combine the responsive design settings within the style.css. Thanks

You should keep it to style.css unless it gets really long, in which case you might want to split the CSS files. If you don't need a whole lot of styles, one style.css is fine though.

Thank you again Bruce, there's just so much information out there about Web Development, Treehouse has been about the best so far. I have been learning from them in addition to Codeschool, Odin project, youtube stations such as thenewboston. Is there any other sites I should be looking into ? Thanks Michelle
