Beginner that needs help getting started!

I’m having trouble getting any of my css to work (using Ari theme)…can someone direct me to some helpful tutorials/tests (already found this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/css-basics/), or other threads like this? I can’t quite figure out what I’m doing wrong.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Well, I want to adjust the margins and move the search bar up to the top, but I’m not even sure how to start the css code. I’m familiar with coding a bit (new to web design, though), and I know you often have to start out saying what you want to do. Like, here’s the type of doc I’m working on, here’s the body, etc. I guess my problem is I’m not familiar with HTML, so I’m not even sure how to integrate CSS into the source code of the current layout I’m working with. Do you know a source that will help me start learning from scratch?

Hi, the search box in the left sidebar is a widget. You can move that to the top of that column of widgets by going to Appearance > Widgets, grab the search widget and drag it up above the other widgets.
At WordPress.com, you create CSS rules to override the exiting CSS and those are entered at Appearance > Customize > CSS.
The easiest way to find the CSS associated with the various page elements is to use the web inspector built into your browser. Our How to Find Your Theme’s CSS support page has some brief screencasts to help you get started with that. I use them all the time and find them an invaluable tool when doing CSS.
We are more than happy to help you get started, and as we work thought things, I sure it will become more clear to you. Let us know what you are wanting to do and we can get you started.
