Hi!
You're at the right place... don't be scary to do some enhancements,
this is the right place for "newbies"! If you want to go for an easy
Template, go for HTML ones; Sunny Weather or Weather Blues v1
or if you have some "adventurer spirit" in mind, go for other templates (Php).
Each Template is provided with a detailed step-by-step guide to assist you
in your installation and Forum is a good place if something goes wrong!
A little "cue" to start your project... start by installing Cumulus Standard
Template, that way, all necessary files will be already in place.
So, welcome abord!
Regards,
Jacques
