There's way more to css than there is to "old time html". Mess with small things first:
Margin. Border. %, em, px, etc.

I'm just beginning to mess with CSS. (Probably for a one-time use.) The best way to
learn is by seeing instant results (not sure how to get that) I'm using Nvu, text editor,
and chrispederick web developer extension for moz browsers. However Nvu uses tables.

i think the sites with feedback are useful.
w3schools has those. Some posters have already said w3schools are inaccurate, so...
this site. After a few pages, interactive pages begin here:

simple stuff, so we catch onto the syntax.

Sometimes when you search certain terms, you get mostly advocacy pages. They
aren't very useful. The same pages tend to be outdated. Look around for mention of ie5,
ie5.5, or ie5 for Mac, any gecko before ns7, opera before 7. Too old. Especially if you're
making your own small site.

But obsolescence is not always easy to determine. mention of old browsers here,
though it's been updated/maintained:

Keep moving around and hitting the stuff until your mind is numb. Then go back to it
another day.
