Looking for the right position? Look no further. In this installment of Integrated Web Design, Molly Holzschlag teaches you all about positioning schemes. This article examines the four true positioning schemes in CSS, clarifies the confusion between absolute and relative positioning, and explains that although floats are often great for use in layouts, they should not be confused as an actual part of CSS positioning.

Well hello there! How you doin? Probably not too good if you've made it to this page. No worries mate! Here you'll find a whole bunch of links to some of the vast resources out there. These are places I've have gone to and still visit for help and to learn. As new resources are constantly popping up, watch this space for changes. I've tried to order stuff as logically as possible. I've even used a pukey highlighter colour to...um highlight my what I think are the essentials. http://www.dezwozhere.com/links.html

"Book of Styles (formerly CSS Colouring Book) is the place where Firda Beka, a CSS enthusiast who is a starving freelance web designer and a tired weblogger, shares some CSS-based, tableless layouts she created when she was bored as hugware. The fact that she gets bored very easily hopefully will benefit this site and will keep it growing."
