Drupal 7.x

Help! I am NOT a programmer. I am just really picky and want a template that looks the way I want it to look. I was told this was relatively easy. Ha!

I installed Zen and created a sub theme. I can't, however, figure out how to do much of anything else.
I don't know where to go to change the background color, the font styles & colors, etc...

I looked at the CSS pages, and changed my page's slogan, hoping that would be obvious and I could follow the trail from there into something that makes sense.

I think I am in over my head...

White space to the left of my page, it came out of nowhere.
Check this image yourselves
White space to the right

This is driving me crazy! any idea of what is going on?
