Hi Johny
CSS is basically just a list of rules saying how your site would be displayed - the theory is that in your actual html page all you'd have is the content itself surrounded by the basic raw tags (eg P, H#s, ULs etc) with IDs or Class names added to them to identify them. Then in the CSS stylesheet you have a list of rules that say basically - all Ps should have a margin of x and should be in this font (for example).
The advantage being that to change the look of the whole site you just adjust a couple of lines in the stylesheet - less work, less page-weight etc.
CSS can't in itself be used to edit a site as such - you can edit the CSS to change the site (once it's all set up properly) - if that makes any sense!
Here's an excellent tutorial that you could easily use in combination with any HTML editor or even a WYSIWYG editor like EW.
