Since the original writer can't seem to find this sticky, I post it for him. If your completely new to css, and you rather do on line tutorials instead of reading a book, You might want to give the following a try. Written by a fellow phpfreak named crmamx.

For all you people that focus here on just css in a bite size format, try a book: http://www.amazon.com/CSS-Missing-David-Sawyer-McFarland/dp/0596802447/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_1 CSS:The Definitive Guide Of Eric Meyer is worth it's weight in gold as well.

Hi everyone, I thought I leave a little checklist, which you could use when creating websites. Although some stuff might be obvious for some people, I see these things omitted on a daily basis when helping out others with their css and html. Note though this list is not not limited to the stuff below, but it will definitely save you quite some time. Use the following in order. 1. Always use a valid doctype! It should be on the first line if you view your source code in the browser. 2. Place a reset.css above your own style! A reset.css is vital to eliminate browser differences. 3. Use conditional comments to target versions of IE! (so don't use css hacks) 4. Don't use inline style! (it's redundant, slower, chaotic and easier to make mistakes) Use an external stylesheet instead. 5. Don't use tables for anything other than displaying data in an orderly way. 6. Don't use a clearfix-div if you can use a overflow:hidden; Hope this will save you a lot of time!
