Here's a simple one I use on http://www.cs.fhm.edu/~ifw00065/

I have this in a file global.css:

<!--
body {  font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #FFFFEE}
h1 {  background-color: #000000; color: #FFFFFF}
h2 {  color: #009966}
p {  font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif}
td {  font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif}
-->

to use the style sheets, I just have this in the <head> section of the HTML files:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/global.css">

HTH,
