If I may say polo,please don`t feel stupid asking questions because you are NOT,I feel that way sometimes but nobody knows everything,and we are always learning no matter what the level of experience,this is what these forums are all about.I`ve learned more from photography forums than reading 10 book`s on the subject.
I struggled on white balance,but my biggest hurdle was aperture,basically its about background focus,though (as always!)there is more to it.
As for white balance try your camera in custom mode and go from one end of the white balance to the other taking shots and look at the results,then you can try the grey card thingy.
I hope this helps and if you want anymore help don`t feel stupid.
