Here are some great tutorial sites for css www.w3schools.com (my fav) csstutorial.net echoecho.com And of course make your own little projects to test your knowledge, if you don't apply it it'll be harder to learn.
When it comes to CSS my advice is to concentrate on practice and not on reading. It's really not that hard but you need a ton of practice. Of course you have to do some reading but the best way to learn CSS is by completing small particular tasks.
Another thing that helps in the beginning is to take a webpage that already has it's CSS fully coded and begin to edit it. You could try a WordPress installation and play with the code from there.
What do you know so far? I would practice building html/css web templates, learn how to code the different layouts and really get familiar with CSS. It's not that difficult but it takes a lot of practice and experience to master it. CodeCademy.com is good, I like how that was mentioned. YouTube is also great if you prefer to learn by watching. It all comes down to how much you practice, and how you prefer to learn things. Also, if you're interested in creating WP themes I would download a theme called blankslate, its a theme with no styles, but all the html elements have id's and classes assigned to them so you can just focus on the CSS side of things. It's a great way to become familiar with CSS and WP at the same time.
First, you need to read a bit about HTML and how to style elements with css. What you find on http://www.w3schools.com/ will be enough to have a clue about what is css , existent properties and how things works. After this, search for a free HTML template, or any website template that has some HTML and a stylesheet attached. Download Firefox , install "Firebug" addon and use this to inspect each template element. Enable or disable properties with Firebug , modify values and take a look what each of them does. After you get a bit familiar with css , you can try to make a simple HTML page with few blocks, and some easy stuffs , attach to it a stylesheet and try to give this page a look as nice as you can and so on , until you are ready for more advanced things.
you can also try to download free psd files or allowable web design templates from sites like deviant art (with permission from the designer of course), and reproducing the css for them. This is assuming that already have a basic working now of css

If you want to learn web design means you just go and use Adobe Dreamweaver. Best tutorial for web designer beginner is www.w3schools.com and www.blog.joomla-developers.com. First you got to try table methods.
I completely agree. While doing this, have w3schools open as a reference to see what you need to type to change things, and what they do.
Complete the Web Fundamentals track on Code Academy. Also check out CSS Tricks - it's a great resource for CSS.
If I were you, I would give Lynda.com Video tutorials for CSS a try. Its always better to learn with some audio visual stuff. I learnt CSS that way. Maybe it will be helpful for you as well.
