I'm usually a wordpress user, so my first experiences of Drupal are proving a little confusing, there seems to be so much going on all over the place that it's all a little overwhelming.

My main issue of confusion at the moment is this though - I can't quite figure out the structure of the whole thing. If, for example, I want to create a blog page and then blog entries, how is that distinction managed - what are the appropriate things to try and create for each of those. I can't quite grasp how the distinction between pages and entries in pages is managed.

Actually...do I create content and then use the views thing to organise it for navigation? is that how it works?

You just simply create some blog content and create a view, choose the path (like "blog" for www.example.com/blog), set the view to 'page' to display nodes' teasers. Then you add a filter "Node: type" and choose blog. And you have a page only with blog entries. You can easily create views for certain categories or whatever else criteria you like :) try googling for 'views tutorial' :)
