HTML or your CSS first

Hi,
I am curious to know how other developers are coding their pages: do you write your HTML or your CSS first when mocking up new page content?What do you feel are the benefits of your approach?

I traditionally am given a design to code, and write the mark-up HTML first. I then start coding my CSS. It will get to a point where I need to quickly tweak individual elements, and I'll start coding in-line instead in the .css file. At the end, I would clean up my in-line styles and find where I can put them in the stylesheet to keep order.
