Everybody needs help with CSS from one time to another. I have yet to meet the man or woman who can say they have memorized all of the CSS code lingo by heart. There is just too much there to remember. Then you can’t just memorize it. You have to know it, and know how to do it right.
That is where this article I found this morning comes into play…
Learning how to use CSS for creating web sites is a pain in the ass. It’s not easy and it will hurt you. Over the last several years I’ve been asked by many web designers and developers about how to best get started with building web sites using CSS and standards. Usually, I’ll just send them 300 links and wish them a lot of luck. This overview is sort of my penance.
When it comes to understanding the world of standards based design, you have to think medieval. Creating a web site in CSS is like building a manor. You are a lord, setting aside land for specific purposes, hoping the user rotates their content appropriately. Most of you will build villages attracting only a few peasants to comment on various decrees, some of you will build castles and a very small number will build what I can only describe as cathedrals—structures that warrant pilgrimages from thousands across the globe.
Feel free to check out the rest of the article over at particletree! It is one of the best CSS layout technique articles I have found in a long time.
