http://www.csszengarden.com is a great place to start. Shows how one set of
basic, semantic HTML can then be easily repurposed into any number of
layouts. 

If you look at the raw HTML of the page:

http://csszengarden.com/zengarden-sample.html

you will see that it is, indeed, a text-only page. All the layout is done
via the CSS. Now, this isn't an ideal example...there are still a few
real-world issues to contend with, but it shows the path to take whenever
possible.

There's also a nice list of other CSS resources linked from the site:
