I deleted my .ssh folder, changed my root password, then logged back into my account (mediatemple).
Now I did used the nano command to create the .ssh folder, and inside it the authorized_keys file that will store my public key.
is this correct so far?

yes - sounds ok to me

Well, the permissions need to be set correctly if you want authorized_keys to work.
I usually generate a set of keys and have it done automatically. :)
ssh-keygen -t dsa
fyi; the correct rights are like this:
700 on the .ssh directory 600 on the authorized_keys file.
Owner is the user.
