Can this be written better than it is?

I have a feeling it can be reduced to something better. Is there a way to only write body.front once?

body.front #content, body.front .region-sidebar-first { margin-top: 0; }

You can try googling on less, scss or sass. These are stylesheet scripting languages that are compiled or interpreted into css. Your example in scss becomes:

body {
  &.front {
   #content, .region-sidebar-first { 
      margin-top: 0; 
     }
  }
}

this compiles to:

body.front #content, 
body.front .region-sidebar-first { 
  margin-top: 0; 
}

There is a lot more possible, so take a look at less, or sass.
