1. Introduction
Note: This tutorial assumes you have a basic knowledge of how to use CSS, but only have a very basic understanding of how it works. If you have NEVER used CSS before, you will want to start with the w3schools introduction to CSS.
This guide will attempt to take you step by step, through the process of creating a fully functioning CSS layout. I will try my best to explain the concepts behind each step, but a lot of the time other people have already covered these things better than I can. Because of this there will sometimes be links to more information on external sites.
Note: Please use a modern browser such as Opera, Firefox, or Safari for this exercise. Don't worry though, your site should work in IE at the end of it.
