Two of the best things I've picked up this year
include:
* minimizing container and wrapper DIVs, writing
minimalist CSS
* I learned this last year, but still love it to
death:
margin: 0 20px 10px 0;
instead of writing margin-top, margin-bottom, etc.

Best new bit of knowledge for me in 2005?
XSL.
If you know and enjoy using CSS, dive into XSL; it'll rock your world :)

Sheesh, I've learnt everything this year! Transition from tables to web

The most revolutionary of all would probably creating forms using labels,
field sets etc. instead of tables.
The coolest would be style-switching (I know it's not new - but new to me in
