Do you want to edit an existing theme, or create a new one from scratch? To do ether one, you need a basic understanding of CSS and XHTML, and PHP livens things up a bit. Read this article and be enlightened.
I have the code for my template from a previous blog. I just don’t know where to insert and I cannot find the how to in FAQ.
Thanks!
Have you installed the template?
<p>If you’re trying to modify an existing template follow the steps below:</p>
- Install the theme if you have not done so already at Appearance > Add New Themes
- Go to Appearance > Editor and copy-and-paste to code into the appropriate file.
- The stylesheet(usually called style.css) is where you would insert CSS styles.
- The files ending with .php are for the actual content (i.e. meta tags, headings, body text, menu, etc.)

<p>Hope that helps </p>

I just want to cry. I have read all the links and faq and yes I am not computer language sawvy. Do they have a section on how to for dummies? I am so lost was the language. Do they have a tech support number? I just want to paste my template code and I cannot find where to do it like they allow you on blogger. 🙁
It’s been like years since I themed Blogger but I remember you still have to insert blogger tags to get it to work. So it is with WP, if you know your HTML and CSS.
Might I suggest choosing one of the 820 free themes here http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/themes/ choose the one closest to your layout and make changes in style.css accordingly.
