Is there any tips, advice, or tutorials out there that explain how to create a web site in Photoshop, slice it up, and then program it using CSS? The more common way is to use tables....and I don't want to do that. Thanks

There are TONS of references for CSS on the web. Look at the stickies at the top of this and the HTML forum.

The best place to start to learn CSS is www.w3schools.com

There is no 'trick' to slicing a PSD file to put into a html/css template - except that you do NOT cut it up into the little pieces like you did for tables.
