I got my basics for CSS in college, but I'm learning new stuff with it all the time. Sort of learning new tricks as I need to create things with it. Generally, if I need to learn something, I just do a Google search and see if I can find something that explains it, or if I find something interesting on a website, I pull open the code for it and learn how they did it, so I can know how I could go about doing something similar.

I've also got some books here... on web design, html, javascript and so on that have CSS sections in them, so I look to them for reference every now and again.

I slowly learned using w3schools. I would use other sources/code and add them together and modify them. Search for the code for what I wanted to do... and just slowly learn from that. I still don't know too much CSS, but its fairly simple. Every page I design now, I use CSS tables... usually div positioning.

First I play with HTML through notepad then I learn CSS by accident. Stu Nichols site on CSS is a good place to learn, take a look at http://www.cssplay.co.uk/ and also you can try to visit www.w3schools.com/css

After you learn, you can try to try it by yourself and you might come up with the original website templates. Good luck

I learned CSS at school. There is web developing activities in my school, and i am the member. So, my tutor, which is my upperclassman, teach me the basic of css then i develop it myself. Right now I'm still learning more about web, html, css, php, and sql.

W3Schools!!! That place rocks, it was the very first place I found with the best tutorials at that time and most probably still the best css tutorials around. Then it was all trial and error and going back to the site to see the reference and some other tutorials from webpages I found through google or places like pixel2life. There are plenty of resources on the web, its all a matter of having patience and practicing, its really not difficult to learn css. There are plenty of new tricks coming out every now and then.

I learned CSS same with most of these guys.. Viewing source code and checking how minor changes affects the total layout of the site. It's also best to tweak and play with free XHTML/CSS templates on the net. You'll learn many things. specially the hidden secrets..

I still am trying to learn more.. I've been studying it for almost 3 months now.. and i have some grasp of its basics.. it may take many more months for me to start a template from scratch.. but it's worth it.. and it's pretty challenging...

I've read most tutorials at w3schools.. I also bumped into a 2001 release web design book. It's an old book considering the fast-paced growth of the technology. However, there are good points in the book (navigation, breadcrumb trail, functionality, basic layout, positioning, etc...) that I think are 'standard' of the net.

I learnt Html by viewing others websites and myspace, CSS i find it so much harder and confusing, how do you guys learn it so well.
I would love to learn how to customise my myspace using CSS to change the whole entire thing.

HTML was a breeze to me , but CSS lol i dont think so. Does it take alot of time?

I'm still not understanding the language of it. A little help or tip on learning it please?
