CSS is easy in principle, but browser oddities make is a strange art. Sometimes it seems like there are more exceptions than rules when you're starting out.....
My general technique has been to look at the photoshop comp for a minute, then look at a bunch of semi-standard layouts I've worked out in the past and see which comes closest to the phoshop comp. Then I tweek the layout till it's right, rather than start coding CSS divs off the top of my head. If do code off the top of my head, it's often less clean by the time it's done and browser oddities cause kludge code....
Photoshop -> table layout was very easy to do, but these days is considered "illegal" even though it was, well, fast to design, fast to produce and looked fine in all browsers and was easy to teach to students... I used to teach web design at an art college...
I'm in Chicago if you want to say hello sometime..... once you get a few ideas, the rest is easier....
