Lisa, If you have a few dollars on hand, I highly recommend TopStylePro, a little program by Nick Bradbury that will help you learn CSS. Really, it will. If it doesn't, come back here and scream at me!!
http://www.newsgator.com/Individuals/Default.aspx (Bottom right of page) TopStyle is a powerful tool for creating standards-compliant Web sites. Written by the creator of HomeSite, TopStyle is a single editor for CSS, HTML and xHTML. It's NOT a wysiwig -- you work with the CSS and HTML files "by hand," but there are some convenient prompts that help you learn and some built-in tutorials.
