Just watched a very long, very informative video on YouTube that helped me get a real good start on customizing a wordpress site. I skipped some because he covered how to buy a domain name, how to purchase hosting and how to use that particular host's quick installer.
Once he got into the meat of it, it was extremely helpful. He had some good suggestions for background tiles (subtlepatterns.com) and for free stock images (sxc.hu which now re-directs to http://www.freeimages.com)
If you don't have Photoshop or Gimp, or need his guidance, follow him though the use of pixlr.com to prepare your images to be added to your blog.
You can see the results I got by visiting KyMystery.com. Obviously, as time passes I'll be developing that site more, but at least in the short term, you'll get the idea of what his tutorial can do for your WordPress blog.
