re CSS
there are many programs that have short-cuts to CSS, you hit a button
and it does the rest. All doesn't have to be built from scratch.
I personally like Adobe Go Live.
knowing your learning style is important, as Ivor says.... some need
and like to read the manuals and then go to work, others (like myself)
like to bang their head against the keyboard hitting buttons here and
there and then read the book after they have a feel (and a headache
from hitting their head so many times) and then read the manual going
"oooooo is that how you do it!
If your on a mac... check out Rapid weaver
that is pretty cool as well. Templates that let you just exchange or
insert your info.
big things to learn about are tables... they are gridded boxes that
'hold' images and or text in particular page locations, so it keeps the
format you want.
you can make them with or without boarders, so you do or don't see them
on a page.
it is more intimidating than it really - just try.
my favorite quote:
I am always doing things I can't do, that is how I get to do them.
--Pablo Picasso
It helps me through alot of 'things' in my life......
