Help with css?

Hi guys I recently started to learn HTML AND CSS. I'm pretty confident with HTML, but I started with CSS3 on the "how to make a website" track and finding myself kind of confused on some parts. Should I not worry and keep going on? any tips would be awesome. thanks!!

Hi Andy, I think it is best if you try to retain as much information about CSS as you can, but don't worry too much about it yet. If you are following the front end web development track (which I assume you are), then you will re-learn CSS in the CSS Basics course. If you still find yourself having troubles while completing the CSS Basics course, then you should spend some time and figure out those parts you don't understand by looking it up or re-watching some videos.

I'm far from an expert, but I'm comfortable with css3 - I just google for whatever it is I'm trying to do and build on top of that - usually the results from stackoverflow etc are enough to get me started.

Also, I learnt a hell of a lot from 'inspecting' other websites CSS and getting my head around that - I don't spend hours disecting it, just 1-2 minutes going through it to see how they've gone about putting stuff together.

thanks for the tip :) I haven't tried view source a lot, but I sure should do it more often!
