Hi, I'm new to this whole drupal concept. I was not the person who created the site I'm working on, so I'm pretty confused by all of this. I've always created websites using standand html files and directories, and am used to editing pages individually. What I'm trying to figure out how to do is 1) Create a new page, including creating title tags, adding meta descriptions, and meta keywords. Can anyone please tell me how I can go about doing this? 2) I'm also trying to figure out how to edit our home page so that I can edit the title, add a meta description and meta keywords.
If anyone can help me out with these 2 things I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time and patience with a newbie.

D-6 info
To create a new page login as user 1 or whatever other user has appropriate permissions and navigate to /node/add/page. For page titles and meta data you will need http://drupal.org/project/page_title and http://drupal.org/project/nodewords or just http://drupal.org/project/nodewords_pagetitle installed and enabled. IIRC you can add meta tags at the same time as editing/creating content if these modules are set up correctly. Check out the project pages at the above links for more info.
If you have edit permissions you should have an edit link visible on your home page. You might find this useful... http://drupal.org/node/19828. Complete documentation is at... http://drupal.org/documentation
I recommend http://drupal.org/project/admin_menu to ease navigation for admin tasks.

Info for Drupal beginners
As Bitradiator noted, there's lots of good info on the documentation pages at Drupal.org. Dive in!
That said, it can be hard to find the good beginner stuff hidden among the huge volume of documentation. I've tried to point out some of the more useful bits of documentation for beginners here:

Good luck!
