I can say that I had a similar frustration due to my mentally hardwired routine of table based layout. But after a little cranial reprogramming I can say I love it so much more. So much cleaner, so much simpler and efficient. Of course there are some things I think tables for layout did better (such as vertical alignment) but for the most part I dig it. <strong>URL's:</strong> http://www.stopdesign.com/log/2004/09/03/liquid-bleach.html http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/css/ http://glish.com/css/ *some simple and common layouts* http://www.alistapart.com/topics/html/ http://cssvault.com/cat_tutorials.php http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/ http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/ http://www.htmldog.com/ http://v2.stopdesign.com/ http://www.hotdesign.com/seybold/ http://www.picturequest.com/ <strong>Books:</strong> After some extensive searches when I began my transition I ended up with a few books but my fav was: Web Standards Soutions: The Markup and Style Handbook by Dan Cederholm. <a href="http://simplebits.com/publications/solutions/" title="web standards solutions" rel="nofollow">simplebits.com</a> It is probably aimed at a more beginning audience and not too tailored for you but there is a lot of good information throughout the book related to layout.

Books:
After some extensive searches when I began my transition I ended up with a few books but my fav was:

Web Standards Soutions: The Markup and Style Handbook by Dan Cederholm. simplebits.com

It is probably aimed at a more beginning audience and not too tailored for you but there is a lot of good information throughout the book related to layout. But to tell you the truth you’ll probably find all you need online.

I must say I just found your blog and enjoy reading it.

I'm currently working on an enterprise sized project that has necessitated heavy usage of contextual styles, and have found that site (any the many linked to it) very helpful for quick reference.
