What WordPress ought to have done is to state at their frontpage or download section that working knowledge of CSS and PHP is required or else one might as well stick with BLOGGER. What one can achieve without these skills when using WP is about the same as what one will be able to achieve with Blogger. In fact, its much simpler to make modifications with Blogger. So, if you really want to take advantage of WP, one might just go learn web design with PHP.
