I've got a question for the group. Suppose you find yourself in the
following situation:

You are flying a C182, landing on runway 22. The ATIS lists the
winds as 240 at 10. The windsock is not visible.

[...]

That is not a lot of wind, and it's certainly not a lot of crosswind
(get out the whiz wheel). The result that you were experiencing has
to be from some other cause... perhaps ATIS was wrong?

So... what I'd suggest is to pay attention to what the plane *is*
doing rather than the theory of what it should be doing based on
ATIS.

OK... However, it does sound like the consensus from the group is that
aileron does nothing to correct drift once the plane has touched
down...

I agree, if all wheels are on the ground and the wind is light. OTOH, if
you are touched down on one main, the ailerons are rather important. If
the winds are heavy, they can also keep both of your mains planted on the
runway. IMO, there is no pat answer that supercedes paying attention to
what the plane is doing.

You've gotten some good feedback, and I'd second the suggestion that you
to get some more x-wind experience with an instructor.
