CSS is what defines the page in one form. This is where a lot of things get confusing. Find a site you really like and take firefox or Safari/Webkit and use the debugger included in them (Firebug or Web Inspector) and just see why things are where they are.

I always seem to find a site to model after and do my web design that way. I learn a lot for next time and eventually, I'll be able to do that all on my own. For example, my robotics team website I'm developing right now, I'm working out the kinks and you can see it here http://beta.teamrobot.org

Just take it slow and ask us specific questions!

This is a good tactic. It would be good to change the values for these items too and see how that affects the view of the page. I really wanted to mention the design of your beta site Keehun. Its really good. The gradients and the menu at the top make it very Web 2.0. Just wanted to comment on that.
