I’m currently writing my second ebook on CSS, and you are exactly the type of person I want to help. The first thing you need to understand is how a page behaves when it’s _unstyled_. I mean when you haven’t implemented your own CSS. It turns out that there is no such thing as an unstyled page because the browser comes with its own default CSS. At that point you have to get a feel of how each type of element (block, inline, table, list…) is rendered. Turns out that you’ll that if you understand block and inline elements, you’re halfway there (that’s actually what my second chapter will cover). When I started writing CSS, I wrote it by hand in Notepad++, line by line, with no autocomplete. I think you need to go through that process to understand each property first, and learn what it does. Send me an email and I’ll send you a draft of my book. If I can solve your problems, it’ll mean I’m on the right path.
