Not every Drupal contributor sharing a theme on drupal.org is a whiz at cross-browser CSS or even knowing where to begin. A collection of tips and guidelines for contrib themers would be helpful so people know where to turn for browser testing resources.


Deliverable:
Handbook page in theming section that includes:
- basic CSS coding principles -- valid code that follows standards (http://drupal.org/node/769692) will help start you on the right foot
- what browsers your theme should aim to support -- link to current percentage market share
- how to test locally for different browsers (IE collection, virtual machines, and just installing other browsers in the first place)
- external services to help you test themes in different browsers
