Terry Didcott put together a simple tutorial that takes you step-by-step through the process of creating an HTML web page, using a little PHP to make building a web site easy, and connects it all with CSS.

I know there are plenty of books on the subject (I own a lot of them) but, I’ve never run across a more straight forward approach that easily shows the relationship between HTML, PHP and CSS. Now don’t get all concerned about the PHP. Terry only uses a single command to “include” other HTML page information, like pulling in the navigation links without constantly having to worry about them.

Frankly, his teaching style helped me understand why CSS is preferable, and how easy it is to build a style sheet from scratch.
