Can You Help Me Understand The Legislation Process?

I’m browsing the Library of Congress “Thomas” site, looking at bills/resolution and dont understand the relationship between resolutions. For example H.Res.896 provides for the resolution of H.Res.895… what does this mean? Does the house vote on both resolutions?

    A bill is an actual law that will be enforced once passed by both entities (senate and congress for nationwide – senate and assembly for states) pass it and then the president or governor signs it. A resolution is something more simple, like moving money from one department to another or recognizing an accomplishment made by an individual. Hope that helps.
