I'm having a hard time learning CSS

[Kamikid]

I've followed tons of tutorials but none of them have given me concrete examples used in real world applications. I can learn about class styles and id attributes till I'm blue in the face. But, until I follow a tutorial that actaully builds a webpage using those examples I cant learn a thing.

I know what a property is, I know what a selector is, I know what a value is. Great! but its no use to me until I actually learn to do something useful to do with them.

So does anyone have any tips they used to learn CSS. Or better yet tutorials that actually build full fledged complex websites using CSS. Thats what I'm really after.

When trying to save webpages to study from. The browsers arent saving the background images. Say I try saving http://www.csszengarden.com/ as a complete webpage. All the images dont show up nor does it save it to my PC.
