I've been learning it for a while. I have tweaked the standard WordPress stylesheet, and use that for my whole site. You can see it at http://www.nohats.com/weblo...

I have also had nice luck with Server Side Includes (SSI), and that plus CSS makes updating the site a snap. There are performance issues associated with using SSI on a large site, but for what I do it is fine.

Also, I just came across this page on Google, and it probably won't help you:

It's ok . . . I'm learning it too. As long as you have a backup of your site (or better yet, do the work ON the backup, so the main site stays undisturbed) no harm can come of it. It's just that I do this for a living, so I decided I need to indoctrinate myself into the ways of the youngsters . . . why, back in my day, way back in the 1990's, we thought taking a system used to display tabular data and turning it into a skeleton for site graphics was plum near as fancy as ye could git!
For anyone out there wanting to learn the basics and if you are good at the "this works, so let's see what happens when I add THIS" school of learning, I point you to another blog (no recommendations on the rest of the site, I just came across this page with google):

You need to be fluent in HTML and reasonably aware of CSS tags to use this, but it really cut through the chaff to get me started.
