Knowing how to find the info you need
The main skill of creating websites with HTML & CSS isn't memorizing all of the names of every tag and property. It's knowing how to search for and find the info you need to do what you want to do in a given moment. Searching on your preferred search engine, and knowing the search terms to use, is a good starting point. There are also many more specific collections of reliable reference materials, and online guides and tutorials. Below are some of the ones we've found most helpful; we'll keep adding to them as we find more.
References
W3Schools
The number one point of reference I'd recommend for both HTML and CSS is W3Schools. If you are looking to find info on a specific HTML tag or CSS property, there is a search function; or just visit the HTML or CSS sections and browse the lists of pages in the left sidebar.
There is also a pretty cool CSS demo page here.
