Default CSS Compressor

If you have a very large external CSS file, and want to minimize your down-
load times, I found a cool CSS compressor that will automatically make your
file size smaller. Depending on the options you select, you can get the size
of the file down pretty good. The site is: Code Beautifier: CSS Formatter and Optimiser

I tried it with all the options set for maximum compression, and after up-
loading the new file, my site still looks great (didn't break it!), and it
went from the original size of 11.981KB, to 9.252KB (Compression Ratio: 22.8%
(-2729 Bytes)). Pretty cool for sites that need it.

It even provides you with a "message" area that details the changes.
I've put my original CSS file back, as I like the readability of my coding,
but again, for sites that would need it, it's cool.
