Is there gonna be a new course taking its place? I just finished HTML and this is the second course in a line of courses, should I start it? What will happen if I complete before March 3rd when it is retired? Whats taking its place?
I think there should be more information on the site about it

4,960 PointsThis Course will be retired on March 3, 2015. We recommend starting CSS Basics or CSS Selectors for newer, up-to-date content. You may also download the Course videos to watch after the Course is retired. Course
CSS Foundations Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used to describe the visual look of a web page. Using CSS, it is possible to change colors, margin, padding, fonts, and much more. This content will consolidate the previously released CSS Foundations and CSS3 in a brand new and updated series.

Those two courses will be replacing the CSS Foundations course in the web design track anyway and they'll be replacing CSS Foundations in the track next week.
So if you start the CSS Foundations course and don't finish it by Tuesday of next week(highly unlikely), you'll still have to start at the beginning of the CSS Basics course and then take CSS Selectors anyway.
Personally I'm finishing it but that's because I'm already on stage 11 but I too will have to complete the new courses once they're added to the track. No big deal since review is important and the new courses are updated so there will be newer more relevant info and of course a more contextual lesson to lesson progression on a project (from what I can tell you style a page from beginning to end and in the process learn all the CSS they present through application of the concepts).
If I wasn't so far into the foundations course I would just skip it and get going on the CSS Basics -> CSS Selectors though.
