Thanks for the recommendations.
The “The Ultimate Guide to Creating a Design and Converting it to HTML and CSS
By Jeffrey Way, October 23rd, 2009
Site: Nettuts+” is up to now my favourite since I’m trying to master CSS with little to no knowledge of it at all and this video tutorial has showed me how it should be done and gave me some enthousiasm I needed.
That’s quite a list! I try to stay as current as possible and there are a number of sites there that I’ve never even heard of before. You’ve given me a lot of reading to catch up on. :)
Vasilis, Ramon, Kevin,

Best wishes
