It is hard, especially if you've got used to building sites with
tables.
The main problem I found is working out the best ways to use styles
without triggering the many browser bugs, mainly in Internet Explorer.
Andy Budd wrote a great book which helps explain practical uses of CSS
and browser CSS bugs. Sorry, I can't remember the title. It's something
like 'Advanced CSS Mastery'. I wish I'd read it earlier.
Keep things simple and you'll find it easier; and try not to be too
exact with layout. It's okay for things to look slightly different in
different browsers. HTML is about meaning, whereas CSS is about
presentation. Re-visit the meaning of HTML tags and try to use them as
they were originally intended.
I found CSS easy to misunderstand. If you get a good grounding in the
exact meanings of the different styles, things will get easier.
