CSS - Templates?

Not sure where exactly to ask this. But I have completely developed a site (programming wise) and now need a nice design. It doesn't have to be anything super fancy but was wondering if anyone knew of any places to download CSS templates for free...

Hey everyone. I am new here and this forum looks great. Already found loads of cool PHP ideas just by reading through some of the other posts.

I thought for my first post, I would put something into the community.

I have created a number of blank css website templates and posted them on my site. I use these as a starting point whenever I create a new site and I find they save me a lot of time.

The whole idea of them is to be very basic - even the homepage. I didn't want to fill the templates with loads of stuff you would want to take out but I thought it was important to have enough in there so you can see the idea behind each one.

I'd love to hear back from you all and know what you think to them.

Looking forward to the responses

I've done a few web sites. Nothing really snazzy - I tend to focus on the information being available rather than having it "look cool". As a result, I've received various comments from "it's fantastic" (from people who are actually trying to find information) to "it's boring" (from those who are used to the frantic Flash-based web sites on a lot of the social networking places). There's a huge age range in users, too - it's a school-related site, so there are Jr. High students and their parents looking at it.

Anyway, as a revamp, I started to look at CSS templates, partly as a way to play with CSS, but also because it seems to be the "right way" to do things these days. My earlier efforts use frames, and there's a header, a footer, a left-side navigation frame, and then the right-side "info" frame where everything shows up.

So I did some Googling and found some offerings for free CSS templates. Grabbed a few and looked, and they are much nicer than my basic colors and styles. So I started working up a sample site and hit a snag when I wanted to do a second page. There was a sample index.html that had a section with a navigation menu on the left, and a flexible middle column, and a fixed column on the right. I got a basic front page together, and decided to create a new menu item for "About us", and link that to a new page.

Here's my issue/problem - it seems that the way to create the new page is to duplicate the index.html, then hand tweak the menu to indicate the current location (there's a class="current" attribute on a <a> tag), and then rework the text section in the middle.

While that's doable, it offends my programmer's ethic of "do the work only once", which, in this case, means that I can't see why the menu has to be rebuilt each time.

Am I missing something? Is this the way that multipage sites based on CSS layouts really work? Or do I need to find a better sample or tutorial on doing a multipage site where the efforts need to be made once to get a menu working, and then leave it alone until a real change is required.

Hi...all
I need a small tip.. I would like to see a home page templates for Friends Network site.

Please tell me if you have anything...

Thanks

I'd appreciate any help with this, thanks in advance.

So, I purchased a Wordpress template, installed it, works fine.

In some of the posts I'm creating for the site, I want to include simple tables.... problem is, somewhere, somehow, the CSS file for the template I purchased is setting certain style rules for the tables I create. Including a background image. So, it's messing up my tables.

I tried setting new table rules this basic way:

.argh td { my styles here }

then for my tables in my posts:

<table class="argh">

It seems to be taking the text formatting that I included that way ... but the dang background image from some style somewhere else keeps showing up no matter what I do. :|

Any help would be much appreciated.
