More or less random ideas.
Start with crayons and paper thumbnails.
www.colourlovers.ca for colours. (Set timer so you don't spend all day
there.)
http://www.w3schools.com for quick reference of all things HTML and CSS.
ColorZilla and WebDeveloper extensions for FireFox. WebDeveloper shows
you how things are nesting in CSS -- very good when wondering why a
style isn't applying. Inheritance can get nasty. Also nice when
fine-tuning the CSS.
Tables are not evil. It's much easier to do the overall layout with
tables than CSS. (CSSZenGarden is awesome, but a also good way to get
very frustrated.)
The style="..." HTML attribute is your friend while fine-tuning.
There are some nice skin test pages on PmWiki.
Cheers!
Sandy
