Set default styles for tags

Yes, you could just use tag selectors, but here’s a nifty trick from Stephanie Eckles so that you don’t need to unset the default styles for when you’re customizing the same tags:

a:not([class]) { 
  /* styles go here */
}

The not:([class]) attribute restricts this selector to only matching elements with no class name — meaning any time an <a> tag is customized with a class, it won’t have the default styles.
