The standard classes that ship with (most) versions of Latex are for academic journals, books, and letters. You are more likely to get your question answered on a Latex specific forum or mailing list. Finally, in case you have not already tried it, I highly recommend using Lyx to create Latex documents. If you are in a rush you can use the \section* command to enter your article headings and the \subsection* command for your section headings. The trailing asterisk suppresses automatic numbering, so you will need to add your own. Much nicer to use automatic numbering.
