CSS - Am I missing something?

[WoWzers]

I am a veteran newb, working on websites for years but using old, outdated techniques. (I was using Frontpage until about a week ago, when I posted my web design site for review and was flamed into oblivion.)

In the last couple of weeks, I've been transitioning into Dreamweaver. At first it was intimidating and confusing, but now is getting easier as time goes by.

The one recurring review of my web design site, was that I needed to use CSS. So, I began reading up on it. Seeing the hundreds of tutorials, books, etc. that was available, I was once again intimidated.

But, after reading only one tutorial that explained how to layout a page using tables and css, I seem to have learned most of CSS! How can this be?

I search for more tutorials, but find pretty much no new techniques to me, only changing border properties, using CSS to effect cell properties, image properties, that I had previously learned.

Am I missing something? Are there any advanced CSS tutorials? I figured that 1 day of studying would only be the tip of the iceberg, is it?

Build your first "pure css" site. Validate it; test it in other browsers. You'll start to uncover questions and face challenges that you haven't thought of yet.

These techniques may only currently be found in tutorials and forums that can only be discovered when searching a specific phrase that isn't even in your vocabulary yet.

Also, with several years of design under your belt, making the transition to css for formatting may make things smoother for you than for others. Though, I have also found that people using tables for so long are very resistant to using css.

Thanks for the advice. I love using css, and using it for tables right now is good too.

I will be testing it on different browsers. Hopefully I won't get too discouraged :>
