As an addition to what shelleycat mentioned in the thread, it might be worthwhile dealing with the cascade and non-duplication of styles - as this is something which would have helped me tremendously at the beginning if I had got a good grasp of this fundamental when I was learning.

What I mean is using good logical practices from the start - so many people use an nn4 style sheet and then duplicate it with the more extensive 4+ styles added in. However, if you are using @link, then the only things that need to be added in are the changed rules.

The other thing I think would be good (and which is not that easily available elsewhere in an readily viewable format) is a dunce's guide to browser problems. (e.g. if designing for nn4 watch out for padding, table backgrounds, etc; for ie6 watch out for ...).

Nice to see active discussion of CSS here...
