Unhappy CSS Newbie - help needed

Hi,

I am lot of trouble with the css on my website. I have had my website for over a year and started out using Templates and SiteCreators. As I learned more I progressed to switching between code and wysiwyg. When I moved out of the SiteCreators it was necessary to edit the menu of my site in the code. I found the cascading style sheet but coudn't get it to work. So, I began to edit the menu page by page, in the wysiwyg. (I kick myself for that everytime add a new page) I have decided I should try and get the Css to work properly as my site is getting to big to maintain page by page.

The problem is that the css file does not seem to have anything specifically relating to the navigation bar (or my sidebar) rather just a 'body' section. I don't know how to add to it or fix it.

My css code is;

.header {
background-image: url(http://www.viewfromthemirror.com/My%...edBanner.jpg);
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 36px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #ffffff;

}
.menufont {
font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #c7ddeb;
text-decoration: none;

}
.bodytext {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
}
.copyright {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
}

And you could see the code of one of my pages by going to www.viewfromthemirror.com and viewing the source.

I've been working on this for three and a half hours today. All I want to do is be able to update the menu in one place and have it update all pages. If I ever got that accomplished I would like to be able to do the same with the right container/sidebar.

I would appreciate any help, ideas, suggestions or useful links. I just don't know where to start.

Thanks,

Coreyna.
