Other than what Tal covered, I'd recommend downloading Notepad++ if you don't already have it.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/
Then back up everything you plan to edit. That way you can go in and change code and see what does what, or doesn't, cause it's overridden by code somewhere else. Then when stuff goes cattywompous, you can just copy the code back and go back to cussing.
Like you, I also have background in HTML and I'm slowly getting CSS, but it's pretty different. I'm currently trying to stretch / scroll my background, which is simple in HTML and next to impossible in CSS.
Might want to prepare for stuff like that.
Good luck man! If I see anything I've already banged my head on, I'll try to help ya out.
