How to Customize a Web Template?

I am attempting to make a website for using a free web template but unfortunately I am not a design savvy at all. This is the template that I'm interested to use http://www.oswd.org/designs/search/keyword/keyword/silverglow/ It's validation is XHTML 1.0 Transitional and using CSS, so I downloaded it and now I'm not sure what to do. I know I can edit the first page in the 'index' file. But what do I need to do to add more pages? For example making the page for 'service' and 'about us' ? If you know how or know a website that can guide me in customizing a web template I would really really appreciate it. So far I could only found one website that tells me what to do next, but not very informative. Thanks in advance!

1. You can just use the same template as your index.html and after you have saved it, just edit the content for other page such as service and about us. When you've edited that template just save it as service.html and the content is different. That is about as basic I can go. Where the headings are at the top: <a href="/index.html" class="nav">about</a> you can just change it to: <a href="/about.html" class="nav">about</a> and so on... Getting the jist? :)
2. Whenever I use a template, I name the index.html template.html or template.php - whatever I'm using. When I'm ready to create a new page, I open the template.html page in my editor and name it whateverthepagenameis.html and save it immediately and work on it. I name it template.html so I don't forget it's a template:)
