Default I suck at web design (lots of good resources)

As some of you may know, I'm primarily a print designer. Well, times being what they are, I know I MUST delve back into the web world. I took several classes in college; Flash, Actionscript, Dreamweaver, advanced DW, etc...but I sucked at them all. Now however, I NEED to get a few sites up as well as my portfolio online. I'm probably gonna have tons of questions for you webbies in the future, but here's a couple basic ones: I've designed my index page at 800x600, but when I preview it in the browser, I have to scroll over to see it all. I thought that size was normal screen size, what have I done wrong? Also, I'm doing my portfolio in kind of a hand drawn style using DW. I have my background all designed as a .jpg, do I have to create editable areas on top of that background in order to have text? Also, what (and I know this is asked a lot) BASIC resources would you all recommend? Ya know, like web design for dummies?

I checked out your link. Is that your site? Looks good to me.
It sure is hard to go from print to web isn't it. I think the transition is easier from web to print. Anyhow, like I said, looks good to me.
Cheers.
