I just installed Umbraco two days back. I wanted to use a previous HTML template for my website. I googled up for some help and found some two or three uderful links which quite didn't help. Can somebody elaborate the steps the steps on how to put up the template in Umbraco or atleast point me to the right direction?
First of all you need to understand the concept of Umbraco website which uses ASP.NET master pages. If you are not familiar with it, this is a quick tutorial http://www.asp.net/master-pages/tutorials.
Alternatively you can check out the video about templating on umbraco tv
You don't necessarily need to worry about ASP.Net masterpages right now (you can even turn them off in the web.config/umbracoSettings.config file).
But I have to agree with uiru on that one: umbraco.tv is your best option right now to get you up and running in no time, the free starter videos can explain the basics much better than anything else. Once you got your basic setup you can simply copy over your html to a template and there it is.
You might also gain something from reading the "Umbraco getting started guide", which can be downloaded here: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/releases/view/59025 - go to page 6 "Understanding Umbraco - A Primer" and read it from there.
Maybe it's also a good idea to try and install one of the starter kits to and explore how they are built to get a deeper understanding on how to use Umbraco.

Hi Harpreet
+1 to what uiru and Sascha are saying.
I would like to add that you could maybe also get something from reading this wiki entry: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/umbraco-absolute-beginner-tutorial
