There are people around here who know far more about CSS than I do,
but I'm learning.

And one of the things that struck me most, is that it's not about DIVs
and CSS, but about HTML and CSS.

What I mean is:
you don't always need divs to style your pages the way you want to.
A lot of HTML-elements can be used as 'hooks' to hang a css-rule on (I'm
quoting books and articles here), without encasing them in a div.

If you start with proper structure and use the right html-tags
you can do with less divs.

By the way: less divs does not mean no divs.
