Position is everything. Yes, this does happen to be the name of one of my favorite CSS sites, however, understanding the concepts and best practices of positioning using CSS is most often misunderstood and extremely important for good page layouts and innovative designs.

This weekend's reading will be a bit challenging to new learners, but I'm confident the articles selected, and the sites publishing them, will be very useful for long-term benefit. I'm also including an article from 2000 by John Allsopp that addressed the perception challenges designers faced concerning stylesheets, standards, and the web as "we know it" versus "as it should be." 

Enjoy.
