I have spent the past several days reading about WordPress theme design, and doing my own puttering.  I found a fantastic tutorial about designing a theme that broke down the parts.  As I already know a moderate amount of HTML, I found this pretty easy to follow and I now understand the structure of a theme much better.  The part that currently has me stumped, though, is the stylesheet.  Can anyone point me to a good CSS tutorial?  I had one bookmarked at some point, but I seem to have lost it. 

It is astounding, too, just how many details there are to consider in theme design.  Just as one tiny example, take search engine optimization.  The best SEO software, “counseling,” etc. is no substitute for a template that’s properly coded to tell WordPress to use the proper page titles.  So far, I have most of the structure intact (starting from the closest theme I could find to the layout I was looking for, which wasn’t all that close), but I will be moving onto appearance soon, and I don’t understand some of CSS’s terminology.
