OTA SimpleRoot

Please, I am new to android and rooting/flashing to this I|OS/device.
Can someone tell me if this is all I need to do to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720565 my Evo? I've run this, tried to use the premium ROM Manager to install a custom ROM, ran ClockworkMod Recovery and received a message that an error occurred while attempting to run privileged command!
I've googled the error message and most post I've found refer to rooting my EVO. I thought I did that by performing the "OTA SimpleRoot". I just got the EVo on 7/24 and it already had the latest OTA update installed. I really don't know what my next step is. How can I tell if it is in fact rooted?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jus

Edit: I was able to use OTA SimpleRoot to get into boot recovery and was able to flash from there. Whew! There definitely is a learning curve with Andriod. I have to re learn everything it seems since coming from Winmo. Now I'm searching on how to install themes...
