Hello Ted

There is, somewhere, a reference or tutorial of how can we read and learn
about the structural way and css? I have look around many and many
approaches to this subject, in many and many different ways like books,
googling and sources. Its hard to pick one. Any of them always have a catch,
and it is much more difficult if you write code from interpreted scripts
like I do.

Thanks in advance

Rafael

Hi Olajide

Your page suffers from a common ailment. You are approaching CSS before
structural markup.

You need to re-build your page with semantic markup and then apply the CSS.

Here are some common problems that you have.

Multiple h1 elements. The H1 should only appear once and should define the
whole page. Flyer Design and Nu' Image... should be h3 elements.

Div class="thumbnail" is repeated. Divs have no structure and are just a
container. This should be an unordered list with each div an li and
class="thumbnail" applied to the ul

Why are you using a block quote when there is no quote inside? 
<p>
        In 2005, me and a couple of the youth took on this project to start
a youth magazine for the church. Here is the outcome. Designed by yours
truely.                         
</p>

This is a statement by yourself and you are not referencing an outside
source. The blockqoute is an incorrect use.

Don't use inline images to replace a simple background color: <li>
  <img src="images/red.gif" alt="Olajide Olaolorun" height="40" width="40">
</li>
<li>
  <img src="images/red.gif" alt="Olajide Olaolorun" height="40" width="40">
</li>

Be careful with using color:#fff without applying a background color to the
container. Look at your site with images disabled, white on white text is
not very useful.

To repeat, you're not alone. Too many people approach CSS without having a
good understanding of structural markup. Your code will be bloated and you
will end up with complicated CSS until you understand how to use the
structural elements correctly.
