I feel like I am not experiencing the true potential of my device.

i want to root now and i am looking for a quick summary on steps with links to the latest downloads i need. anything completely current? i went to the all things root section and was a little overwhelmed. does that forum have froyo there? if i was planning on trying that cool new blue-themed ROM, i assume i would just need to root the device and then load that on with a ROM manager and i would get froyo since it's built into it? maybe i just don't completely understand the first step that actually roots the phone. is that related to the update.zip file?

Depends on what version you are right now. After you find that out, you can find the correct method to use to root your Droid. After you root, simply download ROM Manager from Marketplace and you can select JRummy's Kangerade from it and install it VERY easily using this app.
