Hey i have converted my html/css website and added in the basic drupal code and have everything in position however i cant figure out how to change the layout of the content articles etc.

i would like a layout similar to this : http://www.jonalisblog.com/2011/03/glee-original-song-episode-38.html

it is a music website so i will be adding artwork but i would like my post body (which would be just the text) to the left hand side and the artwork to the right hand side of the post.. so it would be sumthing like this :

Hold It Against Me- Britney Spears

Blah blah blah blah blah ------------- >> then artwork over here
Blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah

To check the site status, go to Reports > Status report in the Admin section of your site. You can also go directly to... http://yoursite.com/admin/reports/status .

About the layout use Firebug to identify id and classes. You can also use modules like Display suit and panels for easy layout changes.

1) Go to Structure » Content types » Manage display (of a content type)
2) Select a layout from the vertical tab and arrange your fields accordingly.

Yes Display suite is quite flexible and you can arrange your field (images here) in different ways. I personally haven't used D7 display suite much, so cant guide you here. If you just want to float a image that should be very easy with CSS.
