When submitting a cover letter and resume, should one make two attachments, one of the cover letter and the other of the resume? Or do the cover letter and resume go in the same attachment? Thank you! =)

Definitely one attachment.
Speaking as an executive recruiter, I always advice candidates to treat the email as the cover letter, and attach the resume (in either PDF or Word doc).
Name your resume with your name, i.e. "John Smith.doc". Don't do anything like "my resume 2006 v3". The later demands the receiver to rename the file, and tell him that you make frequent changes to your resume.
Best of luck.

Submit the cover letter as your email text and the resume as the attachment. This is normal practice when applying for a position via email- the email itself should be your cover letter.
