XML/CSS web page help

XML/CSS web page help, Need help with an XML/CSS page

I have been looking at tutorials but still somewhat lost. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for an example. I am basically looking for a template or sample of what an XML/CSS designed page of this type could look like. Figured a basic template would work since I want to start out simple with a banner and my family information. I know it would be easier to do it in HTML but trying to learn XML and figured this would be an easy way to start. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

Hope that helps.

I can still create a basic web page this way though correct? Been messing around a little and the biggest problem has been images and image placement. Was using the tutorial from the first link you gave me but that is mostly for displaying a catalog. Is it possible to create a simple home page as well?

XHTML/CSS and you can incorporate XML & JavaScript to make a nice functional website. I am not sure you will get too far ignoring (X)HTML.
