Thanks everyone for your posts...they have made things much clearer for me. (I think I get it now)
Now as far as my site size....
I resized the site from 800 wide to 750. It just fits into an 800 wide screen i think. Is that what I'm supposed to have as a norm?
I still have a lot of work to do to do the rest of the site this way.... but here's the main page:

And the join Page:
