I recently acquired a book entitled [The Zen of CSS Design](http://www.csszengarden.com) by [Dave Shea](http://www.mezzoblue.com) and [Molly E. Holzschlag](http://molly.com). Being fairly new to CSS I am embarking on a journey to better my CSS understanding and skills. I feel this is something that I am lacking and am interested to see the impact this book, and another I will write about soon, will have on me. Maybe I will even develop my own stylesheet for this blog…

I also recently found this blog post (dead link: http://blog.auinteractive.com/have-you-reached-css-zen-yet) from AU Interactive talking about the 12 steps to reaching CSS Zen. I think I am on number 12, but I also skipped number 8 (I generally tend not to scoff at other people's work) and number 11 (it _is_ optional after all). So now, I am pursuing number 12. Wish me luck!
