This code is making my eye burn

OK, i spent the most part of the day trying to get one walk through that made sense, in my head, on Joomla. I can safely say that I have not found it.  It turned into one of those things where I was good to go, and then 1/2 way in, the instructions don't match the diagrams, or I notice they forgot something, ect...  I wound up learning about a twitter bootstrap ,whoever names these things has some deep seeded issues.  I will go as far to say that almost all cute little internet acronyms bug the crap out of me.

I'm going to go back in as soon as my eyes stop burning.  try to make some kind of progress, I hate learning code, and I hate php.  I wish I could just focus on the things that I can do well instead of having to learn everything at super speed.
