I'm going to Kansas City, MO, in 2.5 weeks for a web design competition through my local vo-tech school I attend, so these links are a great help to get me refreshed on website making... And that web server on your PC... I think I may try that one out.

I didn't see any links specifically targeting Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS. I haven't really checked this place throroughly, but here is a start:

CSS Tutorial

Thanks everyone. This is a major help.

A few other forum software systems I've found as a free alternative to IPB...

IceBB (Functions alot like IPB; Looks close to the same):

PunBB (Unique board system. Powerful, easy to use, not the brightest interface though):

I use Dreamweaver MX 2004 to program my webpages, and for PHP editing and all that I use Dreamweaver as well. I also like to program program, but that's outside the scope of this discussion.

Here is another excellent site for learning just about anything you might want to know in one place. It is all free as well. I have used this site many times and found the material to be very useful and well laid out.


W3Schools

Freeware/Shareware for Web Designers (Everything except Opera is free)

HTML/CSS Help

World Wide Web Consortium :: They set the web standards. Archaic and advanced.
Web Design Group :: Outdated but extremely useful. They do possess downloadable help files for HTML 4.0 and CSS 1.0 Specifications

Browser Testing

Mozilla Firefox :: Small, fast, reliable browser. Great standards support. Great with the Web Developer Extension. Moderately used.
Opera Web Browser :: Best Standards Support. Best Support. Shareware. Bummer. Used in limited numbers.
Internet Explorer :: If you do not test your site on the industry standard, you might as well shoot yourself in the foot. Standards support should appear in IE 7. Widely Used.

Editors

Notepad2 :: Better than Notepad. Will syntax highlight almost any coding language.
Notepad :: It's on your computer. Use it. Your best tool by far.
Arachnophilia :: Java-based Syntax Editor. Has tabbed editting (before Firefox). Very easy. Very nice.
NVU :: Free version of mixture between Microsoft Frontpage and Macromedia Dreamweaver. (WYSIWYG) Yet, it is free. FREE. (It does support PHP.)

Server Testing
Xampp Lite :: (Thanks to RCTHelp for this one) This is the only local server I will recommend. With Xampp Lite, you can test your site on an Apache server with php and MySQL capabilities without shelling out the extra cash to pay for webhosting.
