I was wondering if anyone could help/explain how to change my site from html to css. I've tried to learn, but I can't quite get it.

My site is here.

You don't change a site from HTML to CSS.

It should be HTML and CSS. HTML for data and structure, CSS for presentation and design. For a demonstration, see www.csszengarden.com - one HTML file, hundreds of designs.

I guess what I meant was to change my site from raw html, to html using css.

Thanks for the link.

Well, that's a big thing you're asking.

Ditch the table layout, remove presentational elements and attributes from the HTML - "width=700" and so on. Control all of that with CSS. Build it and make it work in standards-compliant browsers - Firefox, Opera, Safari - then fix for IE.

Yeah, that was my goal, but I still am learning how.

Well that link should give you plenty of reading.

Also have a look in the "Web Standards" forum - particularly at the "CSS Wisdom Please" thread (stickied).
