CSS for Jerks...

There's a Holy Grail here somewhere... I just know it. If I've gone quiet for a few months, it's because I've decided to concentrate on learning CSS. Actually, it's because GTA San Andreas, and then later Mercenaries, and a whole bunch of other petty distractions assailed me, and THEN I decided to teach myself CSS. And I'm looking at all the tutorials and the like, and it all makes perfect sense: in some ways, more sense than HTML. But I'm just not getting it... There's a Rosetta Stone here somewhere... Just need to find it. I need me a book called CSS for jerks...
