Basic C# / CSS help

[Guest2]

I posted something similar in servers but realised its probably in the wrong part of the forum. I have a new sharepoint site that I want to modify. How do I go about editing basic parts such as those highlighted in the screenshot below. I am using a free editor - Microsoft Office Sharepoint Designer, this is the default.master page that lets you see code for the menus...

This is the code for the documents, lists, discussions part.

<Sharepoint :SPNavigationManager
id="QuickLaunchNavigationManager"
runat="server"
QuickLaunchControlId="QuickLaunchMenu"
ContainedControl="QuickLaunch"
EnableViewState="false">
<div>
<SharePoint: DelegateControl runat="server"
ControlId="QuickLaunchDataSource">
<Template_Controls>
<asp:SiteMapDataSource
SiteMapProvider="SPNavigationProvider"
ShowStartingNode="False"
id="QuickLaunchSiteMap"
StartingNodeUrl="sid:1025"
runat="server"
/>
</Template_Controls>
</SharePoint: DelegateControl>
<SharePoint:AspMenu
id="QuickLaunchMenu"
DataSourceId="QuickLaunchSiteMap"
runat="server"
Orientation="Vertical"
StaticDisplayLevels="2"
ItemWrap="true"
MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="0"
StaticSubMenuIndent="0"
SkipLinkText=""
>
<LevelMenuItemStyles>
<asp:MenuItemStyle CssClass="ms-navheader"/>
<asp:MenuItemStyle CssClass="ms-navitem"/>
</LevelMenuItemStyles>
<LevelSubMenuStyles>
<asp:SubMenuStyle CssClass="ms-navSubMenu1"/>
<asp:SubMenuStyle CssClass="ms-navSubMenu2"/>
</LevelSubMenuStyles>
<LevelSelectedStyles>
<asp:MenuItemStyle CssClass="ms-selectednavheader"/>
<asp:MenuItemStyle CssClass="ms-selectednav"/>
</LevelSelectedStyles>
</SharePoint:AspMenu>
</div>
</Sharepoint: SPNavigationManager>

If you select one of the areas you'd like to style, I'd imagine that it would show the relevant css properties on the left column. I'd also imagine that in the same area would be where you could add new css as well.

My god, theres about a million CSS styles (bottom right in screenshot)

Is there an easier way of creating an intranet for our company where people will be able to run a customized file upload facility? - That will move certain files into certain areas based on question/answers.

I thought sharepoint was the answer to this but even building a basic "hello" webpart looks stupidly hard, then theres actually sorting out the looks of the site
