I managed to finish the basic actor wireframe without too much trouble. It is available here: http://www.onepotcooking.com/scottharlow/class2/actorpagehw.html
I used a lot of items in my CSS file, but after going through the final one, I realized I could put most of my properties under one main 'div' selector since they were using most of the same attributes.
The annoying issues I had were mainly positioning, particularly calculating the proper lenghts and widths while taking into account border sizes and padding, margins, etc. To troubleshoot, I made the backgrounds of my bold, contrasting colors so I could figure out which sections were too big or small. I changed the backgrounds back when things were well aligned. I think that tedious process could probably have been avoided if I had been more careful in setting up the inital properties of each box.
