Tim,
I have downloaded and installed the program RAPID CSS2007, I have tried to figure it out, it’s hard to get your mind around something that you really do not understand, and I wish I had taken the time in my younger years to learn a little more about coding. I will welcome any members (especially Peters help since I herd he was one of the best) help in helping me create one of the slickest cover pages for my profile. My contact info is in my profile, I have msn, Skype, and yahoo. please get a hold of me when you have time to discuss what it is I want to accomplish, swap images, ect, I am usually available most all of the time since I am semi-retired

Thanks to all of you, in advance of your continued help.

I agree with Tim here, learning the language will save you headaches, and CSS is actually a lot more basic and easy to understand then even HTML.

Here are a few basics:

CSS - Cascading Style Sheet. Cascading, or downflow is the key here, the LOWEST (as far as actual placement in the StyleSheet) is the most important. SO if I say:

body color is red
div stuff and layout
make a class element
body color is white

The body will be white. It overrides the first thing.

#word will make an ID for an element the # denotes an ID. ID's are used to give a single element attributes that differ from the normal design.

.word gives a class attribute to an element. the "." denotes "class" and classes are used for multiple elements.



For basic advice stay simple. Use hex colors instead of words (#FFFFFF instead of white, etc.) and have a design in mind before you start.

Over come most IE problems by starting your CSS with:

* {
     margin: 0;
     padding:0;
}

Try this page for a good, BASIC start

and follow up with the validator for CSS when you are done to ensure you have no CSS errors.
