I found a cool blog post with some tips for editing your WordPress themes. The author is the designer of the theme I'm using here - http://www.boob-mania.com/main It's some pretty basic stuff but may come in handy for a few things. I know there are some folks who get a little daunted by anything related to code etc. Basic css is a breeze once you understand it. You can pull off some pretty cool things and it may even save you a few dollars in the long run.

I found a few others which may be helpful as well. Here's one for generating a header - http://www.maketemplate.com/header/ It works pretty good too.

One for creating cool menus - http://www.webmaster-toolkit.com/css-menu-generator.shtml

And a site dedicated solely to css with some easy to follow instructions and tutorials - http://www.w3schools.com/css/

While the generators can be pretty helpful to learn with, I found that after I had been using them for a while, I grew out of them and started on my own styling - http://www.all-gay-porn.com/blog This theme I did up from scratch in notepad.

I hope someone will find these helpful. We all like to be a bit original. And other than your favourite image editor helping you create cool banners, logos and all, css, along with basic html knowledge, can complete the package.

For those who may be offended by how elementary these sites are, my apologies. They are directed at those who are intimidated by css but may still have a yearning to learn a few things. :D
