Total novice regarding nginx

[ex-para]

I am a total novice and know little of servers and nothing of nginx, having said that I have downloaded nginx in ubuntu 8.04 and got to Welcome to nginx on the laptop screen and the folder is in /var/www/.
Unless someone can please tell me what I do next such as how do I upload my website to nginx or just what is next I can go no further.
