    Hi all,

    I'd like to learn some CSS/HTML basics, primarily just to be able to develop my wordpress templates further. It's basic knowledge I'm after, not advanced stuff.

    CSS Web Design for Dummies looked promising, until I read it was for IE. BLEUGH!

    Can anyone recommend a straightforward, CSS book for newbs, that coveres the basics.

    I should emphasise that I want a BOOK, NO links to websites thanks. Though if the book is available online that'd be great!

    Thxs

    HTML Dog: The Best-Practice Guide to XHTML and CSS by Patrick Griffiths, is a good book for beginner

    When it comes to CSS, I agree with creativecreators about w3schools.com. Good Luck mate. If you have any questions, you can also try asking other forum members as you study CSS, pretty sure many will help you. Good Luck buddy.

    w3schools is great and you should also try taking apart peoples sites and doing it that way. You learn alot by doing that
