This is a link to an earlier discussion. Basically, if you are real serious and willing to spend time, read the official CSS specification. But otherwise read a good introductory tutorial and it should be enough for most things.

W3C
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a simple mechanism for adding style (e.g. fonts, colors, spacing) to Web documents.

Files with the .css extension are style definitions kept separate of HTML document. The styles are imported into a document via the LINK element.

Though this forum is generally for giving specific answers to specific questions. See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ for the full text regarding CSS.
