Blahhh

So I now know that I hate trying to figure out how design a website. I think I need to have a little more direction than just being told how to essentially open a new document in Dream Weaver before I dive into trying to make a whole website. I'm starting to figure out how to use the templates a little bit but can get much beyond getting basic text into the document; I can't figure out how to change the sidebar colors to do much text editing.
