I am trying to learn CI to use for a shopping site, but am not having luck with the official doc. Anyone know of stuff that will help?

Can you be more specific about what you are having difficulty with?

I just don't understand the concept of a framework. I don't know where to start, and how I write my own code to go with it.

We've used Code Igniter on a couple of projects and found the videos on their site to be helpful for an intro: http://codeigniter.com/tutorials/

I've tried that, I just need something more tailored to user management and actually adding items through a login-based control panel.

Sorry to sound nit-picky, but it's probably best to edit your initial question with this additional information rather than adding comments. It makes the question far more readable and doesn't pollute the answers with unnecessary posts.

Do you have an understanding of the whole Model/View/Controller ecosystem?

Specifically for you query about CSS this is a good starter reference written by a new user: http://codeignitercamp.blogspot.com/2007/08/codeigniter-tutorial-2.html

re: CSS.
I've got my CSS a separate folder at the root. (same place as 'index.php') ... /content/css/main.css
Called as:
<link href="<?=base_url();?>content/css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
