Hi, Rayburn... Let me tell you what finally enabled me to start making totally css-layout sites, using only tables for tabular data.
I went to http://www.templateworld.com/free_templates.html and downloaded several free sites, including all images and other assets that you need for a complete site, and basically re-created from scratch, their css files and html files to see how each step affected what I was doing. It's important to start with a blank stylesheet and one html page and add one part of the page at a time and as little of the css to the stylesheet as possible that affects the html you're working with. Otherwise, you're not going to know what css code is affecting what html code. By breaking down these ready-made sites, and, at first, perhaps simply substituting your own content for theirs on the sites, while leaving the structure intact, you can begin to get a feel for how they have put their css-based sites together. After doing this for a couple of sites, the css design approach may become clearer to you. I'm not saying that template world's template are the best in the business, but they are complete and very cross-browser compatible. However, with some significant modifications to one of their templates, I've used one as a basis for a site that I sold to a client. They make available for download the HTML files, the css files, and all image files required. At least check them out and see if they help. Getting over the initial "overview" of how css is done may get you over the hump.
