Alignment issues..., help a newb, please... Options

[JiT_Brentan]

I new at the skin thing. I'm trying to create my own using the createblog tutorial, but I can't align the blog and navigation into the places i want them. I want the blog on the left and the navigation on the right, but none on the combinations actually move anything. If someone would help me out with that, I'd be eternally grateful.

This is the code I'm using

The code for the navigation was supposed to be on top of everything else. It said in the tutorial, too, I'm sure.
