If you're using absolutes, you can order them by relevance in the code (for
SEO) without that being they order they will display on the page. i.e. you
might have an image (logo etc) display at the top, but have your main header
and intro text right after the tag in your code. Relatives are
sometimes harder to get right, but are essential for fluid designs, which
work well in diff resolutions/browser sizes.
You are right about learning it for yourself, mind - we can help, but only
you can really 'get your head around it'.
