About Burning CDs

I have to say that I feel like an idiot asking this question. I
thought I knew more about my Mac than I actually do know.

When I want to burn something to a CD, I know that I have to
"format" the CD, just like we used to have to format floppy
disks and Zip disks. But I can't figure out how to do so.

I know that I use Disk Utility. And I THINK that I'm supposed to
partition the CD. But Disk Utility doesn't work the way I expect
it to, so then I think I have no idea what I'm doing.

So will someone please tell me how to "format" a CD-R?

I'm working with OS X 10.4.11 on an iMac.

Thanks.
