Re: Tutorial on CSS for layout

Hi Andrew,

Like you said, reverse engineering can be tricky and even discouraging if 
you are not comfortable with the basics yourself. Below are some links that 
might be useful to you. I also found Molly Holzschlag's "Cascading Style 
Sheets - the Designer's Edge" a good starting point.  I would also highly 
recommend the HTML Writer's Guild on-line classes as a great place the 
begin developing your own sense of CSS.


CSS Layout Techniques: for Fun and Profit
http://glish.com/css/home.asp
Contains a variety of column layout examples, useful for creating a sidebar 
and content  layout. See the links for resources and tutorials

The CSShark Answers FAQs
http://www.mako4css.com/


Web Design Guild (WDG) - Cascading Style Sheets
http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/
If you need the basic principles, this is a good place to start

W3 Schools
http://www.w3schools.com/css/
Another good site to step you through the basics

Hope this may be of help,
