Need Introduction to CSS

Does anyone have a recommendation of a good "Introduction to CSS" for an
old man who doesn't want to learn a new computer language this late in
life but has to if he wants to stay the webadmin of his fishing clubs
website. And I do.

Something preferably online, examples of code should be rated important.

TIA

Old guys shouldn't use computers 'cause it makes them cranky (-er).

Well if old guys shouldn't use computers and young guys shouldn't use
computers, that leaves the feminine part of the population a rather open
field. Good God...

I read thru this twice last night. Explained a lot of what I see when I
read a CSS file. Since it is raining too hard to go fishing, I will
read the next 2 papers today.

Thanks.

I know someone (with no IT or computer graphics background) who taught
himself to use Photoshop when he was nearly seventy. CSS should be
straightforward by comparison.

There is a very successful writer/producer in Hollywood named David E
Kelly.
There is a person here in Houston Texas that won a 32 million dollar
lottery named David E Kelly
There is the UN inspector involved in the WMD report for Iraq who killed
himself named David E Kelly.

My name is David E Kelly and I don't know where I fit in this scheme of
things.

One last comment before this thread fades off into oblivion.

Thanks for all the responses, whether they were about CSS or otherwise.

So, I am reading in my O'Reilly HTML book and low here is 30 pages on
CSS. This book is nearly 10 years old and I would have bet my social
security check that it did not cover CSS. I hate it when things like
that happen.

Anyway, thanks everybody.
