About the only useful bit in your message, to reiterate what others have

Inline style may be useful for a short demo example in Usenet, but in
application on your page better to add styling in a stylesheet rather
than pepper your markup with style attributes
..framed { border: 2px solid red; }
<div class="framed">Put text and pictures in this container...</div>

Ah, yes reference a tutorial that is circa 1995 to a newbie!
To OP this not a good way to start out. In most cases one does *not*
need each element to be precisely position on the page because you do
not know what the page size is! Better to make you page flexible and
adjust the layout to fit whatever your visitor's window is at the time.
Only use positioning when it is critical to the design and even then
many times there are ways to still make the design flexible.
Try the tutorials at www.htmldog.com. They are a bit more contemporary.
