You can place a sell order at https://steemit.com/market. You'll need to be logged in and have either your master password or your active key.

I'm not sure I understand this process. Do you sell STEEM into STEEM DOLLARS? How do you get STEEM from crypto-coin to USD?

You sell Steem on an exchange for Bitcoin. You then sell the Bitcoin for USD on a BTC exchange such as Coinbase.

I'm a total noob here. So if I understand "Steem" is the transferable currency and "Steem Dollars" is the internal (savings) currency?

Both are transferable. Steem is a free floating crypto. Steem Dollars are loosely pegged to the USD.
