"display problems" newbie

[chicagofire]

Hey everyone,
I just finished and put up my first site but there is a white bar to the right of my site design. I know there is a way to have a site format to the viewers screen but I created my site through design latouts not html. Is there a simple way to fix this problem? I want to learn html but have no idea how to use it yet. On a side note, should I take a class from my local community college or are there some good books that will explain everything starting on a very basic level?

Thanks for any help.
