I've dabbled in CSS a bit, have done some semantically pure,
CSS-driven-layout pages, but have never really had the energy (or
time) to tear apart a page and redo it with CSS.

Anyway - how does one learn the box model and floats?  Floats have
always given me trouble.  I can use them, but it's like the Magician's
Apprentice, invoking things that I don't understand and hoping they
turn out correctly.  Teach me, O Guru!  Or at least point me to a good
tutorial.
