Organizing On WordPress, Help?

One of the many reasons I switched over to wordpress was for more organization and to make my blog more user friendly. However, it seems like I haven’t had a single moment to catch my breath since I switched over from blogger over a year ago. One of the first things I wanted to address on here was my menu’s. I wanted you to be able to search for a recipe, craft, or review and find is easily. I thought I could just create forms and add in drop down menu’s, re-categorize everything in mere minutes.

While, honestly, lots of things about wordpress are really simple a lot of it takes knowing HTML and I just can’t get it. Even simple things like updating sidebar code gets me nervous and overwhelmed. I was able to use a form builder program for my contact form and that was really helpful and I wish there were more step by step tutorials for doing things to take your site to the next level. I can’t always pay someone every time I need something tweaked, changed or fixed but I often feel like I can’t do it myself without fear that I’m going to make a bigger mess.

Another thing I wanted to do was build pages for my ambassador programs but every time I attempt it I got so confused in the tutorials I read that I just give up before I even get started. I haven’t done any of the things I had hoped to do and it’s over a year later and it just frustrates me. I even picked up a copy of the HTML for Dummies book per advice of another blogger but I guess I’m such a dummy that I can’t even understand that.

Do you have any recommendations on site, blogs, ANYWHERE that could help walk me through the process to bring my blog a more organized appearance? Has anyone used FormsCentral through Adobe? Is it easy? I would love any advice you can give me. My only request is it needs to be simple and it needs to be free.
