CCS is good for some things but pages loaded with JAVA and frames are not search engine friendly.

Surf around, find a site you like and view the source code. If it is readable, use it as a template (copy the sucker) and modify it to suit you manually. I use WordPad.

I learned HTML, JAVA, CSS etc. by viewing pages and changing the code to see what happens and by reading tutorials on the net.

I never found an editor I like except maybe FP 2.0

I use CSS to control font faces, colors and sizes and JAVA to obscure Mailtos from spambots. I quit using frames and made entire pages the way they would look after the frame changes.
