You were sadly misinformed. Expression Web is aimed at professional or at
least serious amateurs. To use it effectively you must learn some basic HTML
& CSS. You don't have to be an expert but you can't just get a template and
go click, click, click if you want your site to work properly.
I don't know how much of the code you messed up vs how much was just poorly
coded to start with. I suspect a combination of both when I see:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
This tells me two things. First, whoever created it didn't bother to use a
valid doctype. What they used is an incomplete doctype which throws browsers
into quirks mode.
The second line tells me that Word or some other Office application was used
and that too will cause problems.
Looking at the code I see that there is absolutely no structure to the page
and a whole bunch of <span> with a mix of inline styles, auto generated from
using the toolbars and html attributes.
It would be faster to start over than fix this template.
I'd suggest you go get the asset file and work through the Basic Website
tutorial http://by-expression.com/media/p/1300.aspx get the zip file of
assets and work along with it. You should then be able to substitute the
graphics from the template you have if you want.

I haven't looked at your source code seriously but have you tried setting
a background to: #9699B8;
I don't like websites designed with tables because I consider tables as
outdated and should only be used for tabulated data like figures or any
financial data.
