At the page linked below, I have a Major paragraph head, a bold sub-head and a 
little paragraph.

In order to get all 3 to left-align with each other and with the headline type 
in the top gray bar, I used margin values for the left to scoot them over.

Looks ok to me, but my question is: was this the correct way for me to move 
them over?

Also, in Win IE 6, why does my center beige area not go all the way to the 
bottom of the browser

Yes, margin-left 50px is fine. On the other hand, you could reduce the width of the content block by 50px and and change all the margin-left to zero [will give a shorter line-measure that may make the paragraph text easier to read]. Line-height[leading] is best set once in a unitless raw number [I used 1.45]. The elements can then simply be adjusted using margin top/bottom or padding top/bottom when necessary... as in the header]. Use headings h1-through h6 to set the outline of the document, and the document's content. A simple example is here:
