how did you build the rest of your site?
just use the header and footer of your site and paste that in to the template you want to use.

then if you want to change colors:
1. use a colorpack
2. edit the css using a few tools to help:

Help.
This is about all i got. I figured out the header part, but i started messing with other things and i think i screwed it up.
here is the gallery link

i want the rest of the page to be black, and have the red writing. maybe even the same font style
can anyone help?

First. You want to read what it says at the top of the template file you are editing
You put you customized version not in:
/gallery/themes/matrix/templates/theme.tpl
but in:
/gallery/themes/matrix/templates/local/theme.tpl
Next you have your customizations above the </head> tag.
You have to have some knowledge of HTML to get good results.
Next I would install the colorpack module. then give your matrix theme the black colorpack.
