I want to take a college class that teaches xhtml, html, and css coding. Will knowledge of these functions enable me to make a complex website with databases, user accounts, etc. Or do I need to learn more website design concepts? Thanks

you need more then that but it is a start nonetheless

you need a server side language like php or asp.net, jsp , or python , ruby on rails

then a cliet side language like javascript

then database to hold everything, mysql, ms sql, oracle database

I have a DreamHost.com account. Where do I go to update the text of my index.html and all other pages? I do not have anything fancy like databases. I put something up when I first got it, but I can’t figure it out now. :S Thanks.

First see if you can login to your control panel:

https://panel.dreamhost.com/

There will be a default FTP user set up, and you can change the password to gain access to your site files for editing.

There is also a webFTP program available through the control panel. It is somewhat limited as to the file size you can upload, but usually works well for HTML and images files. It has an editor with which you can alter files on the server.

Once you are in the control panel, you will see links to the extensive documentation.
