I know what you mean. I've been trying as well to become better at design, if only so I can proudly say I designed my website myself. I've bookmarked several articles about design, but one that really helped me get started was http://www.betaversion.org/~stefano/linotype/news/169/ http://www.betaversion.org/~stefano/linotype/news/169/
It's full of useful tips and tricks that I would never have thought of on my own. And for completeness, here are the rest of my bookmarks. Hopefully they'll be helpful for someone.

- bmelton 16y agoYou might also really enjoy Snook.ca. The Six Revisions font-face-guide reminded me of this article (http://snook.ca/archives/html_and_css/becoming-a-font-embedding-master http://snook.ca/archives/html_and_css/becoming-a-font-embedd...) that Snook wrote, and which I have declared to be the most complete guide on font embedding whatsoever. It might focus more on 'front-end development' than design per se, but much of what he offers is invaluable.
