Valerie was asking for some good starting points on CSS-based layout and design, so here are some of the links I sent her way:

• Start with the W3Schools guide to learn some syntax.
• Pick up some tips from Zeldman’s Journey at AListApart.
• Acquaint yourself with the code via MaxDesign tutorials.
• Steal a CSS template or two from Glish, or just just google for them.
• And when you want to go hardcore, browse the Zen Garden.
• One thing I forgot to email to her was the Position Is Everything one stop CSS-bug-and-fix shop.

The comments are open to additional CSS links which I may have missed or forgotten.
