It's time to get over your fear of code.

If you're going to learn CSS, and if you're going to use it, you'll have to become comfortable with the prospect of reading and writing code. Now before you run away screaming, I'll tell you that CSS code isn't scary at all. It's actually rather straightforward and reads like normal english. It's a heck of a lot easier than HTML, and really, the only "hard" part is learning the grammer and punctuation.

Tools like Dreamweaver do have specific features that allow you, on some level, to work with CSS without having to write any code yourself, but I think you'll quickly come to realize that often you can decipher and edit code much faster and more efficiently when you're working directly with the code itself, and not some panel or feature. In my own experience, I rely on BOTH -- tools like Dreamweaver to help me visualize certain things, but at the same time, I'm not afraid to look at the code and copy and paste or make quick text edits just to save time.

So before we start diving into CSS, it's important to accept the fact that you will be doing some level of writing code. Deal with it. Get the fear out of your system now. You'll only benefit from it.
