The best suggestion I have for you is, if you don't already, use FireFox and FireBug (an addon) to inspect the page and see which styles are being applied to each section and where those styles are coming from.

The Cascading part of CSS doesn't mean it will be on all pages on your site, but that the styles "drip down" into other elements that are inside them in the html. For example, if you have a div that has style associated, and a table inside that div, unless you override those styles specifically for that table, you will get all the styles for the div inside the table. If the table is outside the div tags, it won't. The CSS itself can be the same for all pages on a site, but doesn't have to be. Does that make sense? And of course this is in general, since I don't know just how CafePress works of what they do for you automatically.

While I knew about CSS before I started working here 6 months ago, I have had to figure out a lot more just to fix problems and make things "look right" for our clients.
