CSS: More fun than it sounds

As many of you know I've been experimenting with webpage design in the last month or so, and for the last week or so I've been trying to learn CSS (Cascading Style Sheets, basically a way to change the looks of a webpage without changing its code). I've got most of the language down thanks to the easy interactive lessons at W3Schools, but yesterday I found an amazing website which I think explains why CSS is much more fun than it sounds called CSS Zengarden. Basically they have a base webpage which various graphic designers use to illustrate the extremes that can be made by using CSS ... "The code remains the same, the only thing that has changed is the external .css file. Yes, really."

Here are a few of my favorite examples of what can be done just by using CSS and not messing around with the (HTML) code of the page . . . the most exciting part is that I should actually be able to do this stuff!
