Learning XHTML/CSS?

Well i've been designing for a long time now but I really want to learn how to code. I know basic HTML but I have no idea where to start for XHTML/CSS. There aren't any tutorials for actually coding a template and it's hard to get someone to help you without paying.

If anyone has any suggestions for me that would be greatly appreciated!

Lots of CSS examples out there..

Yeah but if I know nothing about it, how can I learn from examples?

Have a look round there for basic layouts using CSS.

I learnt by looking through w3schools.com to get an understanding of it all. Then i just started off with simple coding and the ngot more and more advanced, i'm still learning but i am a lot better than i was say 2 months ago.

It's mainly practice, the more you practice, the more you will pick up on things and learn new techniques. Good luck.

W3schools are great place. Here is introductional the CSS tutorial:

I learned enough by examples to do what i needed to do, but to learn it properly would take ages

Macbeth, the reason you cant find someone to help without paying is because this XHTML/CSS market is one of the only ones that isnt saturated.

yup hes right, once you know who to code it and become a pro you wont be able to help someone learn as youll have so many jobs

W3schools is really the way to go. All others are futile. lol
