If you enjoy it, you have 90% of the battle won. I didn't become
proficient overnight, either, and I _have_ been doing markup for over 10
years. I learned mostly by trial-and-error, experimenting, furiously
looking up specs when something didn't go my way, checking other pages I
liked, and anything but plodding thru tutorials. You still have to do
_some_ homework, though.

Good luck!
