I found the following article to be a useful introduction to using CSS
for formatting, as opposed to techniques using lots and lots of nested
tables:

Eric Meyer's CSS pages have a lot of beautiful examples of what you
can do using CSS for layout and decoration:

More on layouts, including two and three column variations
http://www.bluerobot.com/web/layouts/
None of these have as much raw information as Dave O'Connor's
recommendation of w3schools.com, but they do provide some nice
examples.
