I'm trying to 'hide' the table borders, so the whole thing just appears white (where it is meant to anyway). How do I go about this? Been stumped for some time now! :( If possible, the 2 border edges along the date bar thing, would it be possible to keep them the dark grey?

Cheers!

you need to add cellspacing="0" and cellpadding="0" to the <table> element to get rid of the borders.
 
If you're learning from scratch, then you certainly shouldn't be starting by picking up old techniques and using tables for layout. Mark up your content with HTML, and style the document and layout with CSS :).

CSS is far easier to learn in the long run than tables.

You'll hit a brick wall sooner or later when you start wanting more advanced designs.
