I still love tables, but I know I gotta use CSS. Maybe I should have posted this in the CSS forum...

Anyways!

I've been making websites for a long time now, but the last three years I've been studying a graphic design course and haven't really been doing much web design. Now that I'm back into it I see that my method of using tables galore is foolish and CSS can do it much better.

But I don't understand exactly how. I've used CSS a lot in the past, as a separate .css file to contain code like non tiling images, my text rollovers, basic stuff.

I'm re-designing my website (I've made the layout in Photoshop), and I figure this is the best thing to do > use CSS as much as possible and tables as little as possible. But I don't know where or how to start, and I feel I need convincing that CSS can actually do a better job at this than tables...

So, any suggestions or comments anyone?
