Question

I am having a hard time creating clean maintainable HTML/CSS code. Is there an editor, book or webpage that can help me using best practices.

This is some examples:

1. Naming of divs and classes: You might have an area with a user profile. How would you name the id and classes? (#author_profile, .username, .userBirthday etc.)

2. Tags or divs: A lot of times I am getting confused on when to create my own divs or use a tag with id/class. Any good examples?

3. Positioning: 99% of the times I set a fixed width on the elements and use float: left/right. Any tips on making CSS positioning more accessible. I have tried a lot of CSS frameworks, but this has not worked for me. Always ends up with deeply nested divs and a lot of classes.
