Just follow it step by step, experiment with it.  It's really easy, you just have to try.

I am not familiar with your particular hosting service, so I can't answer that, sorry.  There will be someone smarter along any minute. ;)

once you add something to that block that says "whatever"  it will help it.   

If you make an html block you can make it stay a specific size and that will help too. I will tell you how but on your own forum you might have to change the number for the width a little bit.   The code is below.  Where it says "width=210px"  that means the area inside the box will be 210 pixels wide.  You can make that number smaller or larger.

Put this in an html box:

<table align=center width="210px" cellspacing="10">
<td align=left valign="middle">

Put what you want to show up in the box here

</td>
</table>

if you want what is inside the box centered instead of to the left change <td "align=left"  to <td "align=center"
