There are a bunch of rounded corner generators out there that you can use. I don't have one on hand right now, but I'm sure Google does. Ask it.

As for where to learn CSS, w3schools is a good place: http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

The W3schools is my favorite CSS learning resource, however it is extremely simple, so I can teach you the basics. First of all I recommend that you link to a stylesheet on your website, this saves you lots of time, to link to a stylesheet use this code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheetname.css" />

Now to work on that stylesheet, CSS has an extremely simple syntax:

selector {property: value}

The selector is the name of that part of the stylesheet for instance, body. The property is what attribute you want to change, and the value is how you change it, for example:

body {color: #CCCCCC}

What I just did was make the body font color grey. Link the stylesheet to the HTML document, as shown above, and the font color will be grey, unless otherwise specified.

You can view a full tutorial on CSS at my website's HTML tutorial section http://www.webmasterforum.buildtolearn.net/index/htmltutorials.html also.

HTMLMaster gave you some good basics and the website linked is wonderful. Basically to make a layout with CSS you use nested divs and span tags that each have either an id or a class name where they get their properties. You can check out my site cause it is done in all CSS. The link is in my sig. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me or something.

another good suggestion would be get templates that come with css and see how it works you can't really code css unlss you have an understanding of how it works.

Hey, I have this really cool web page of a European girl named Verlee. Actually its her blog I think. You can find her web page on the following link: Verlees blog

Anyway, on her page there is an 8 step tutorial on how to make a complete web page without any tables. Dont worry about thinking that 8 steps will take you forever it really wont. The first three or four are about the graphics, and you can download them if you dont have time to do them. It took me about 3 hours to complete the eight step tutorial, and at the end she has a pdf file with a lot of links to css resources.

I really recommend you take this tutorial its a really good way to start learning css, because she explains everything with so much detail that it will be hard to not understand. Good Luck

http://www.w3schools.com/ yeah u can use this site!

But better use some program to make css! It is easy to make the css file with Macromedia Dreamweaver! Make some botten or some other staf and edit it in word pad ! i thinkk it is cool to make whis word pad, but in start better use some program! The Microsoft Front Page is not best thing to use!
