newbie switching site to css

[ZeBozette]

My first attempt at a website consisted of Dreamweaver and nested tables. I'm now trying to switch the site to css as much as possible. I've changed as much as I know to do. Could someone look at my code and tell me if there are more ways I could use css? Comments on any other clean up I should do would be welcome, too. I plan to try converting from tables to divs next.

There's a lot you need to do. I recommend you start by looking at this tutrial at HTMLDog. Also, check their HTML tutorial.

In short, you should shorten and simplify your CSS, and the same with HTML. You don't need to control backgrounds and colours both in HTML and CSS -- it should be only controlled through CSS. You should use descendant selectors as opposed to giving your links classes. You should not repeat values that do not change with pseudo classes.

Thank you... for both the tutorial link and the pointers. That's exactly the type of information I was hoping for! I really appreciate the help.
