In your experience is it better to still specify H1, H2 tags... in the page copy or to completely seperate that into the CSS?

is there a way to specify multiple different looks for the H1 or H2 tag in the same external style sheet, or how easy is it to reference multiple CSS sheets from the same page?

Using an external style sheet has three big advantages:

1. That page will be cached by a visitor's browser and need not be loaded for every page.
2. Your site-wide design will tend to be more consistent and focused
3. Should you ever want to change that site-wide design, you can do it in just one place

And yes, you can set many, many different styles for the same HTML tag. A good understanding of inheritance will even make it very easy to do so.

You don't need to reference multiple style sheets in the same document. If you want different versions of a given tag, just set up different classes in the style sheet, so your HTML will have tags like <h1> and <h1 class="something">.
