One comment I have is to not use names like 'bluebox', your CSS and HTML should be as separate as possible. I could see a project becoming very confusing if all the bluebox divs are actually green, the redbox divs blue and so on.

I don't know if we improve significantly website loading with such short names. Are browsers faster to treat HTML, CSS or JS with short names ? I don't think. If you find any suggestions about this subject I'm interested in. Thank's. The code is lighter, but less comprehensive by a human.

You’ve got a good point with the idea of simplifying the name like ct instead of content which indeed is making the code lighter. I wish there is a common way for developers in naming the DIVs but I don’t think you will find one.

Is there a limit to cut a name ? ie: At a first reading, I understand "content" but not "ct". In other hand, with "ct" we have less html and css (file weight). 2) Have you list most popular div's names shorcuts ? If most of developpers uses same shorcuts, maybe it's a good practice.
