I have the (Table) (TR) (TD) etc. down pat.... what I am going for is something like this:

Moving to H/S/B since it's more fitting there.

As for the quotes/code, you should use scoped CSS with !important. I'd give you a more detailed explanation but I want to go afk for a bit before it turns completely dark here.

Last view: 5055 days 		heehee I was wondering where it went to...

I'm not much of a CSS person really, is there any way to do it with HTML or would I need to get someone else to code it for me?

The most basic approach would be putting your posts in a block wrapper (like a border- and margin/spacingless table or a DIV) belonging to a certain class ("<div class='rawr'>" in header, "</div>" in footer) and defining elements like blockquote as children of that class (".rawr blockquote { ... }") in the CSS. Compare Squash Monster's layout code, where squashlayout is the container's class.

The blockquote is the, normally, invisible layout element that causes quotes to be indented. The "visible part of the quotebox" is two HRs at its top and bottom. Look at the source to learn about it.

A "dark-light-dark" border as in three borders in something like a ███ arrangement? The only trivial way I could think of would be wrapping three tables with a one-pixel border around it, or alternatively a single one with images of the border pieces. Nothing too trivial, anyway.

I suggest you read some garden variety CSS/HTML tutorial first.
