I think that's great advice, and it's something I'd love to work towards.
I suspect I'm speaking for a lot of us here when I say that I have absolutely no idea where to even start when it comes to design, though. And I don't mean learning CSS - that's the easy part (at least once you embrace how underequipped CSS truly is vs. the problems of layout and styling).
Are there any good beginner resources available that focus more on developing good designs and less on implementing them? It seems that most of the beginning design stuff assumes that you already know what you want things to look like and that you don't know how to build it; for me, it's usually the opposite problem.
