I lack the minimalistic approach to designing. Unless it's graphic intensive, I can't do it (or at least I don't think I can) and I'm never satisfied with any outcome.
I'm trying to get some ideas for an apparel catalog layout, with or without a detailed layout. It doesn't matter. My target is the design of listing items in the catalog.

Rip off some HTML off of Amazon or eBay. That's how I learned HTML+Design. Look at what elements of the page they concentrate on, and which ones are pushed into the background.

I used to have the same problem. I kicked it when I learned css really well. CSS gives you a better ability to design around content instead of plopping content into design.

The only problem with CSS that I have is the patience to figure out browser capatibility blah blah blah, yada yada yada... Maybe I've been looking at the wrong tutorials or something. I've done a lot of dissecting of the Dreamweaver CSS site templates.

Nothing you can do about that. Browser compatibility will remain a stinging wart on your ass until IE bails out (which is highly unlikely). I have that problem all the time, but mostly with JavaScript rather than CSS. CSS support is pretty normalised. There isn't such crass variation.
http://www.w3schools.com is a great resource for CSS related stuff, as well as a ton of other stuff.
