• Best Sites of Links to Many Other CSS Sites:
  • CSS Panic GuideThis is a great page. The author lists links to just about every site out there with helpful information about using CSS and fixing browser display issues. I could spend days reading and learning form all the links on this page. Highly recommended.
  • Web-Developer's Handbook 2.0Mind boggling! Could be several thousand links (I didn't even try counting) to sites on CSS, Web Development, Color Tools, SEO, Usability etc.

  • StyleBoostThe author reviews sites based on the quality of their visual design. A mix of CSS and table based designs. Over 1,000 sites are reviewed. A good place to learn about quality design.
• CSS Templates:
  • Template WorldAll templates in this section are FREE, tableless, W3C-compliant web design layouts designed by Template World designers. These templates have been tested and proven compatible with all major browser environments and operating systems. Note: Template ZIPs do not contain the source files, but contact them and they will email you the PSD's (oh.. and it's free!)
  • OSWD TemplatesOpen Source Web Design is a site to download free web design templates and share yours with others. Currently 2,080 free designs! (The zip download includes the jpeg image files.) Just an awsome site, and the designs are beautiful! I don't know if all 2080 are, but all the ones I've looked at are XHTML with CSS! (and after the workshop you probably know enough CSS to pick one of the designs and tweak it to meet your exact needs...)

• CSS Menus:
  • ListamaticThe first place to go to for simple, ready-to-use vertical and horizontal menus.

• CSS Tutorials:
  • CSS Basics TutorialsAn excellent, step by step tutorial for learning CSS. Highly recommended.
  • StyleMaster Academy — CSS TutorialAn extensive on-line css tutorial. The best I've seen! (These folks also sell a great CSS editor [better than Dreamweaver's, in my opinion] for only $59.95, and a 30-day free trial version can be downloaded to try it out)
