Considering you're just starting out, it's shaping up nicely!
I don't know about linking products and gender. I don't think that's built into Zen Cart, but I could be wrong.
A couple of things about your header:
Please check the contents of includes/languages/english/cherry_zen/header.php. The setting for HEADER_ALT_TEXT is missing. If you don't want an alt text, it should read
Code:
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', '');
Those are two single quotes without anything in between (color added for clarity).
The dimensions of the image are 750x190 pixels. I don't think it looks so bad the way it is. You'd have to make it bigger than 750 and change the size in includes/languages/english/cherry_zen/header.php.
