building website

Hello! My name is Marcus. I am new to Drupal. I have been working with the site for about 2 1/2 months during my spare time. I have been trying out many of the options on Drupal. I have made changes to the themes and added some content etc. But, I am wondering if someone can please tell me the approach that they took to master Drupal. I still don't really know how to create a website on this thing. I mean, what if I want to build a basic static website with about 5 pages. I still don't really even know how to do that yet. Can someone please help me please?
