Kevin, thanks for the reply. Sorry if I wasn't clear, but a lot of that was just notes. I hope that they could be indicative of many users first few questions. I noticed that there isn't too much documentation, so I started collecting notes as a learned, in the hopes that it might be useful for any documentation later.
It is, thanks! :)
Some other tips when working with HTML:
1) for new tags: type the name of the tag you want and ctrl-cmd space, this turns it into <tag></tag> and places caret in the middle.
2) for wrapping text in a tag: select the text and type ctrl-shift W, this wraps the text in a tag pair, and allows you to overtype the tag name (and add arguments).
3) a variant of #2 is when you want to make the text a link, use ctrl-shift L instead.
4) when you want to insert an <img> tag, dropping the image into the text area inserts the tag with proper width and height dimensions.
5) for closing open tags: option-cmd . will insert any </missing> tag for the current context.
My own use of HTML is limited to what I put on macromates.com, but for that I make frequent use of 1-4, and these can all be edited in the bundle editor, e.g. I have a variant of the image drag command that scales down the image to 75%, centers it, and makes the image a link to the actual image URL (for when I post on my blog) -- I also have the ctrl-shift L snippet use the contents of the clipboard for the actual href, but this (currently) only works when e.g. Quicksilvers clipboard history is enabled (something I'll solve in the future).
