I thought I understood this voting/XP thing, and think it
is pretty cool. Only one thing I am still not clear on: what
is reputation? I noticed one of the questions I posed has a
reputation of 2. How did this happen, and what does it mean?
I know.. stupid newbie question, so please forgive me in
advance.

A reputation is the number of votes your writeup receives.
Initially, a post has a reputation of 0. If one or more monks finds it of (dis)interest, are at or above the "novice" level, and has votes remaining (see Voting/Experience System), s/he can vote accordingly.
Because your writeup has a reputation of 2, that probably means that a couple of monks found it worthy of one of their votes.
Another (unlikely) scenario is that of the monks that voted upon your writeup (x>=4), (x/2)+1 found it interesting.
Addendum
For what it's worth, someone apparently didn't like this writeup, and gave me a vote--. Is the above data incorrect?
Ah, democracy in action.
