Since you want to learn, first this:
The doctype isn't valid.
You have:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C/DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/DTD/strict.dtd">
That should be:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
Make a habit of checking your code in the validator, and you'll catch
errors like that easily. With a valid doctype, your pages will have
more chance of being displayed correctly in different browsers.

You also forgot the <title> element in the <head>. This is compulsory.

You floated their container right, but set the text-align to
"inherit". Apparently it's inheriting 'left'. Set it to 'right'
instead.

In that case, I think you should not float it to the right with a 50%
width. As soon as you will have more items than fit in half you page's
width, it would wrap. (still to the right though, if you use
text-align:right; on the container)

You have set text-align:center; on the body, and if you don't change
that for its children, they will also be centered. If you want that
line of text to the left (and you probably will want the rest of your
page's text left-aligned as well), set 'text-align:left;' on the
container div.(div#mainContent). Then everything will be left aligned,
except for where you specifically set it otherwise.

We've all started as newbies - you'll learn :-)
