I am terrible at making a layout for a site, and it looks like you could use some help too. A great site for free designs is oswd.org. Pick a design to suit your needs and customise the hell out of it. Before you can do any customisation you're going to need to know some CSS.
As for the login. JavaScript is not a secure method of logging in, as this site teaches. The only secure methods are server side options such as PHP or ASP. I don't think tripods free service allows for any of these to be used.
If you just want to learn HTML you've got: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/html/

To understand PHP GET and POST look at your current url. You see the bit after the question mark? Those are variables passed to the page via GET. so page.php?a=123&b=asd will load page.php. The script will then ba able to read the GETed variable 'a' as 123 and 'b' as 'abc'.
As for post, take the post I'm currently writing. When I hit the 'post reply' button the text I've been writing has to somehow go to the next page. It doesn't appear in the url (as a variable after the question mark), but instead it has passed as a POST variable which may not be obvious. If you're wondering how POSTed variables actually get sent across, they are sent at the end of the HTTP request, something I doubt you fully understand at the moment.
If you really want to make a decent site I suggest you dump tripod and instead host on a server which does support PHP. There are free ones like i love hbh. keep up the good work!.com, but I have heard their downtime is substantial. Alternatively pay for hosting (I can get you a huge discount with dreamhost). Lastly you could host it from your own PC, this of course requires you leave your PC on all the time and that you set everything up yourself. Most likely you'll still want a domain name (pretty cheap), or just use a free subdomain at afraid.org or something along those lines.
Well… I have a feeling a lot of this has gone over your head. So I'll summarise. If you want to stay with tripod forget about a members-only area. In fact, forget about anything dynamic. If you're going to use i love hbh. keep up the good work! then expect to start learning and understanding PHP.
If you have the desire to use PHP I suggest a better host, like this one: http://awardspace.com/ <—One of the bests free hosts I've seen
