No books 🙂
For the css, you can have a look here:

Ask as much as you need to here as well.
In all honesty, the best way is to start “messing things up”. Find out what a link in the template is, find out how to create a new “category” of links in your sidebar, all of this can be done with simple cut/paste and trial/error. Plus, it’s good fun.
I’m idiot so be patient with me. I’m a little confused about editing the WP css file. Am I able to download it, edit it in note pad like any other file, or do I need a special tool?
eyebeat – that’s not a stupid question at all !
You need no special tool, and Notepad works just as well as a $500 editor 🙂
I asked this question because when I tried just that, the file looked pretty weird. Is there something I’m missing. I’m too scared to just edit the file through the admin feature. I want to save the original and then play. I figure that’s the only way I’m going to understand all of this.
stupidly yours,

CSS can look wierd, but to me, php looks wierder 🙂
Running it through an optimiser can neaten things up and bring a regularity to it:

The above is a fantastic link, worth bookmarking.
And playing ? Yup, far and away the best thing to do.
Have fun !
