TBH a good book is more useful I find. Something like O'Reilly CSS handbook - only a £5 is Waterstones IIRC. Other than that you could try W3Schools tutorials.....

Yes it is highly out of date.
Use style="text-align:center" as a property of whatever you want to center.

I think it all depends on what you want the site to do in the future.
If you do it all in CSS then it can be pretty quickly changed to a different design while keeping all the word etc the same.
I find using simple tables a hell of a lot easier to get on with using CSS to adjust the colours, styles etc.
I reckon its up to you.......as you say, W3 recognise either method so go with what you are comfortable with.

Think you missed my post apk. All it takes is a simple bit of css to center all your content regardless of whether you use tables or divs for your main stuff.
As for learning CSS, I think the best way to learn - as in the majority things - is trial and error, Ed. You might want to have a look at some other well designed CSS websites combined with online tutorials. A good example of the versatility of CSS is http://www.csszengarden.com

fair enough but text-align wont center anything other than written text in that enclosure, it doesnt center divs and things does it.
