thanks, WPyogi–i’ll check that link out. i’m obviously out of my depth and learning on the fly. i appreciate the feedback. (the CSS upgrade i meant was the wordpress.com option–but maybe i should go with self-hosted if it’s not too much to bite off.)
i’ve been using the lynda.com WordPress Essentials video–it only takes me so far though.

Thanks, WPyogi! I’ve looked through all the WordPress themes several times, but none of them is exactly what I want. Either they have banners or tags or dates or other text. I imagine many of them can be customized, and I’m willing to learn CSS to fit them to my concept. But I don’t know which I should start with–or if I should just hire a web designer if none of the themes can be so simplified (stripped of text, headline, datelines etc.)
Thanks again,
C
