Magento – Help!!! How to add text to a contact form

formsPHP

I have a total rookie questions. I don't start my php classes for a few weeks and need to get this done by today, if possible. I included the code I got off the ftp, as well as the image of the page. I did not attach my attempt at this! Also, when I was trying to do this, nothing would show. I flushed the cache as instructed, but still nothing, so if you have suggestions I would love to hear them.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, if you can help me with this. Looks as if this code is getting messed up, is there a way to attach a file that isn't an image? If is also here: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/files/attachments/php%20help.txt

The text I need added in RED and CENTERED in the left column is below and I also need the email address to be a link:

This image is just to represent the placement of the text, we are not actually using the universal password in this, but the text above.

Copy the login.phtml file under /var/www/html/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/persistent/customer/form/ and place it under var/www/html/app/design/frontend/default/yourtheme/template/persistent/customer/form/. Add the code below to login.phtml.Also below I added image showing how it effected my login page.

add it under: 

 <div class="new-users">

                <h2><?php echo $this->__('New Customers') ?></h2>

        </div>
    <div class="col-1 new-users">
    <p><?php echo $this->__('By creating an account with our store, you will be able to move through the checkout process faster, store multiple shipping addresses, view and track your orders in your account and more. <p> ') ?></p>
