www.w3schools.com is a great place to learn website design, or if you want books. go on Amazon or play.com, and search html books or css books. i got some of play.com, Got one called Html (Xhtml) and CSS for Dummies, its in colour and looks like a pretty good book, i have yet to read it yet.
I'm little different. Dont use google if you want to find good resource about web. Too much redirecting site, splogs that not targeting directly to the quality site. BUT, you can use google to search specific case, problem or idea. Like, you want to know, how to use jquery add/remove field in WP admin theme...or make a good dropdown menu with css. etc..etc... My suggestion, try to follow quality web developer/designer in twitter. They usually post link for a good resource, tutorial etc. And share knowloedge what the trend happen in web stuff. And more another suggestion,.. go to Envato brotherhood. They have large tutorial for start on Best one for web design/development : psd.tutsplus.com - net.tutsplus.com
I think the best source is the free templates you have already used. Take one and study how it is aligned and how the styling has done. If you can understand a basic template 100% you can go from there with experiments. Then use Google for additional help. Hope this helps . BR, Sampath
