thx a lot in advance!

Is there some kind of css file that gives the type of styling found in the ROR, site5, Web 2.0-ish image?

Big bright squares of text, oval corners, graduated styles etc?

I am trying to block the display of the primary links on certain pages. I am not displaying them via a block, but rather just the default way built into the theme.

I have customized blocks to display or not for different pages before, but this is a little bit different obviously. I believe I am going to have to use markup in order to fix this problem. For example, I don't want the primary links to display on any page with URL path "index.html/node/different/xxxxxx."

Is there a simple markup that I can add to the drupal.css file?

I am looking for a guide to XHTML, CSS, and theming in general.

I want something that gives examples of parts of a document such as:

Page Header

Section Header

List Header

Bullet Points etc

and shows the usual names of divs and classes I should create for them, and what styling is appropriate.

Really it is something I need to get up and running without the site looking a bit of dog's dinner.

Is there some sort of Drupal style guide on this site, one focused more an the visual aspect?

I'm currently looking for a way to add multiple background images in my theme.

I have a theme completed and ready to be added to drupal.org. I have CVS-write access, however I have no idea how to use this. I'm not sure how I can add the theme I would like to contribute. Could someone suggest and explain?
