Web design info

[Skiwan]

I'm a bit of a nub when it comes to coding and things, but the past month or two I've been learning a little actionscript and I'm in the middle of making a web site with html (since I'm way to nub in flash to make a site that'd be any different from a html site atm).

I'm just wondering here, since every site I've made before has used tables for the layout, is another way of doing so with CSS? Like i say, I'm a complete nub when it comes to these things, but what exactly can CSS cover and what are the possibilities with it? since I've only ever used it for font management etc I dont know exactly what its capable of. So If possible I'd like a little info on some good web design tips w/e, always been interested in web design, though I'm terrible at getting my head around coding

With CSS it's very easy to make tables like that in regular HTML. But CSS allows a lot more customization in terms of how the table are laid out and depending where you want text or whatnot. I know http://www.tutvid.com/tutorials.html has some CSS tutorials and using templates and stuff. There's also http://nettuts.com/ which has a lot of useful web design stuff in general.

http://www.w3schools.com/css/ I would also take a look over that stuff. The first time I was learning how to do web stuff I read all those articles on that website. Very informative and somewhat hands on as well so it's a little easier to learn.
