Well, I've moved on from code fails to CSS fails. Code is actually going pretty well overall, though I've not created any groundbreaking designs. CSS is much more allusive. Once upon a time I knew what to do with it, but its been a while and its not coming back very quickly.
I've done some browsing around on CSS Zen Garden and other free template sites, and I've found some designs I like. However, it would seem that these templates are for inspiration, not borrowing. I can't seem to remember how to implement these free templates on my very rudimentary website, and I have to say its frustrating.
I've done some Googling, but there's not a lot of information around on the most basic CSS use. Apparently to use CSS is to be a web genius. I know I'll understand CSS better by the end of the class, hopefully without throwing my computer against a wall, but right now things are daunting. Usually I can do a little reading and figure something out, but not this time!

You don't have to be a genius, exactly, just understanding how CSS and HTML/XML talk to each other. Once you determine how the two work together to get the end result you will be able to accomplish your goal. Start with the Blue Robot site linked on our course blog. That has the basic structure aspects CSS can create without too much extra.
