I don't think zengarden contributors are prime experts on "how to use
CSS properly". They're mostly grapics designers. As you observed, most
of their examples, while looking very nice superficially, lack in areas
like font selection, font contrast, font size. Most notably, pretty
much all examples are non-liquid, which is almost always a poor design
choice.
zengarden has only one purpose: to demonstrate how css alone (as
opposed to html < 4.01 ) can be used to control the appearance of a web
site, with respect to colors, fonts, pix, and placement.
It is _not_, however, a tutorial on good web design, just like a
collection of Chili recipes is not an essay on good nutrition.
