WordPress Visual Cheat Sheet is the new document, of the Visual Cheat Sheet family, that contains a practical reference guide to WordPress 2.8.

The simple visual style I used to design this sheet allows you to find at a glance everything you are looking for.

Russ Weakley from Max Design has written a very good article/tutorial that goes through the in’s and out’s of design and building a liquid layout using CSS. For anyone who is unfamiliar with the term a liquid layout is one that can be re-sized and adjusted to suit any window size and it does so by using % percents to define the widths and heights of each container in the layout. The thing to remember when designing such a layout is that you need to make sure everything else gets re-sized with it the layout, otherwise you will have a very disproportionate looking website.
