A list of resources for learning what to do
and what not to do with Cascading Style Sheets

• What's Wrong With The <FONT> Element?
• <FONT FACE> Is Harmful!
• AgitProp from Metrius (formerly Verso) about typographical design and HTML
• Why Using CSS Is Better Than Using Frames!
• Effective Use of Cascading Style Sheets
• Severe Tire Damage on the Information Superhighway

• W3C Core Styles
• Web-Based Interactive Style Sheet Development Interface
• A List of CSS authoring tools
• Opera 3.5 - The most complete support for CSS1 in existence! (take that Microsoft!)

Keep in mind that a lot of this stuff is only sporadically supported. Dive in, but swim with caution!

• Valid Properties, descriptors and values for general text formatting
• Valid Properties, descriptors and values for font formatting
• Descriptors and values for generic color formatting (the COLOR property)
• W3C CSS Validation Service

These are things that, for the most part, aren't supported reliably enough to make them very useful, unless your intent is to make your pages unreadable to those whose browsers are not fully CSS compliant.

• Anchor properties - Note that some, but not all of these descriptors function correctly, depending on which browser you're using
• first-letter property examples
• first-line property examples
• float property examples
• Reasons to pay attention to cascade order
