Me too. I coded my first website in HTML 2.0 (back in those bad old days ) and table was the only thing I had at my disposal. And yes, old habit did die hard, so it took awhile.

4.x browsers not having good support of CSS didn't help things.

Check out the Zen Garden website che linked to. That's the power of CSS.

I thought CSS was just for text formatting... until I looked at that css zen garden site. Learned how to do simple layouts in two days- try it, it's not hard at all.

Here is my first effort. It has cross-browser issues, but was created without any prior knowledge of css- no classes, no books, no study time: link.
