You really don't need to bother with all the code that's on the page layouts and stuff. You can do everything within the visual editor. It's how I got started. Just look at someone else's page and go "oh okay, that's what it should look like". The template stuff is or the most part the most complicated thing you'll be doing, and even that's not a problem.
