So lately I've been looking at Css and It looks like a really nice language to learn. I would like to start testing it out alittle bit. Thats where I encounter my problem. Is there any free website builder out there (like yola, wix, and freewebs) that gives me the option to just have a blank slate with Css editing?
If I have to buy a custom domain to get my Css work on the web then, for me, there is not much worth in learning it.
Thanks!
PS. What do you think about learning Css?

If you use FireFox, you can install FireBug. It allows you (among other things) to dynamically change CSS styles very easily of any loaded page. So it is a good testing platform.
CSS is very powerfull. If you plan to write serious web pages you must know it.

You could also considder installing wamp on your PC to act as a virtual server, or otherwise install apache and its addons. This will be a good option if you plan on going into php & sql etc... That way you dont HAVE to be connected to the internet to develop scripts

CSS much like HTML will work without the internet. Just make it, save it to your computer (in the same directory as the HTML file you will call it from if linking it in), and open it in your favorite browser (wether you have the net connected or not) no need to install anything you can just run it from were you are.
Edit: read the one guys post and forgot you wanted online. All free web that allow you to edit HTML will allow you to have CSS (you may have to make it in the header rather than external thou) because Css is something the BROWSER takes care of not the server. If all else fails you could use a proboards forum and just work with HTML and Css in the global header ^_^

I started a website at Free Web Hosting with PHP, MySQL and cPanel, No Ads and so far I believe its going fine. All I need to do is learn how to edit the html/Css of the website. There is an option to pick a custom template, but I don't believe that is what I'm looking for. How can I start with no template, and just programming? Thanks ;)

index.html:
Some notes before I go on my coffee binge:
1) You don't NEED to place it in an external file, you can place them in <style>/*css here..*/</style> tags within <head> for testing.
2) For playing around, you may want to play with Tryit Editor v1.4 , it allows a "write and click" update in an iframe, it's a neat tool.
3) Speaking of tryit, follow their CSS easy tutorials, they link to TryIt editor I mentioned to test while you learn: CSS Tutorial
Eh, that is about it. If you make anything feel free to ask me if it's correctly formatted on your host if you upload.
<html>
<head>
<title>My CSS page!</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css" />
</head>
<body>
I am <span class="red">red</span>!<br/>
<span id="indented">I am intented</span><br/>
<span class="border">I got a border!</span><br/>
</body>
</html>mystyle.css:/* . = class, # = id, none = whole tag */
.red {
color:red;
}
#indented {
margin-left: 40px;
}
.border {
border: 1px dashed green;
}

If I were to use any tutorials I would probably use the link you gave... I believe that would be the best way to go. I have tried their tryit editor, it's a nice little place to practice for beginners. I think right now I'm really just scratching the surface of Css, just to see if it would be a desirable language to learn. Right now I think I'll stick with C++, and who knows maybe Css will be next :)

c++ / CSS i don't get the idea. You want to learn languages for fun ? Go ahead
but if you are series on becoming a webDeveloper throw in a couple of hours on C# and Javascript ( probably jQuery would be nice to start with as a library)

Well I do use windows :D Anyway right now I'm learning C++ as a hobby. If I where to go into programming as a job it probably wouldn't be web development. If I where to learn Css it would be just for fun, and to see what I could make.
