In my experience, you're probably better off training yourself, using online material. Think to yourself when you visit sites, "why doesn't this site work properly, what could I do to improve it?"
http://www.37signals.com/better.php is a great resource for an analysis of aras of a few selected (high profile) websites and why they let down their audience.
Remember, just because you can create an amazing looking website, doesn't mean it works amazingly well. You might want to look at the Gnome/KDE/Windows documentation on the User Interface standards, for even more input into why certain things are done in certain ways.

Damn dude, there's someone for everyone out there but you're never gonna find them by sitting on your fat (and getting fatter by the minute) ass whining about it. Go out, go the library / a pub or club / christ, go for a WALK in the park (buy a dog) and actually say hello to someone...
Oh wait, it's easier to say "oh i'm a failure *SOB* the world should stop" instead of doing something about it.
What are you talking about?

Windows 2000 hasn't ever bluescreened on me, and if it ever locks up it is due to an APPLICATION, not the KERNEL. CTRL+ALT+DEL, Task Manager, End Process.. bye bye lockup, hello next application.

You worked for MS, and your website is called "The Darkside" .. dude, lead me to the borg queen.
