Organization and Usage of CSS Styles in Visual Web Developer Express 2008

I’m really trying to develop and rely more on CSS for all of my formatting and colors for pages. I’m still teaching myself more on how to use it for positioning and layout, but I know that will come as I force myself to use it more.
One challenge I came across this morning with Visual Web Developer Express 2008, is that I wish it would show me a preview of ALL the CSS formatting that I have setup in my style sheet.
I’ve got some formatting setup for my H1, H2, H3 tags but I don’t see a preview of them in this list.
That’s kind of annoying don’t you think? Is there something I’m not doing or some setting I don’t have configured properly to see them?
If anyone has a tip, let me know.
The other thing I was thinking about is that I’d like a little CSS initial setup wizard that would let me build the basics of my stylesheet visually.
This would let me organize and come up with a nice color palette and font size collection that really compliment each other.
Does that exist? Let me know what you do and how you use CSS for your websites.
I too am having this problem. I’ve styled a specific page of my site with external styles located in my CSS folder “../CSS/StyleSheet.css”. When I deploy the site the pages renders as expected but in the design view it does not. To say the least, this is a major problem. I’ve linked the external style sheet on my Master Page and it works. However, it does not render in design view. HELP!
