As the headline said, I'm looking to learn about page design on the web side. I have plenty of professional experience on published page design and layout but am pretty much a noob on the web side.
So, any ideas/suggestions on where to start first?

Start by learning HTML, which is pretty easy. Then learn CSS to contol how things look. A couple of books to consider:
Designing with Web Standards by Jeffrey Zeldman
The Zen of CSS Design by Dave Shea
Neither of these is a technical manual, rather lead by example.
Sites that are useful:
csszengarden.com
stylegala.com
alistapart.com
Valid XHTML/CSS is a bit more difficult to learn to start with compared with layout in something like Dreamweaver, but the rewards are worth the extra work.

Yeah, mezzoblue is Dave Shea's site, and Doug Bowman (stopdesign) is great too.
Erik Meyer is a CSS guru.
