Customize Wordpress themes?
I’ve recently installed wordpress into my site.
The thing is, I don’t like or want any of the themes they offer.
Is there any way that I can make the blog have the same appearance/layout as my own personal site?
BTW, I only installed wordpress because I thought it might be better than CuteNews. If there are any FREE blogging systems out there, can you please recommend some? :]
Also, what can I use to have several comment boxes throughout my site? Like, one for blogs, and one for just feedback of my visitor content or something like that. Any ideas?
Please help! Thanks.

Here is what I do to make a WordPress Theme:
1) First convert your design to standard html/css.
2) By default wordpress is installed with 2 themes,
- classic
- default
Make another copy of classic theme folder and rename it to "yourwebsite.com"
3) Start tweaking and applying the new theme by editing,
header.php
footer.php
sidebar.php
style.css (replace it with your style sheet)
index.php
4) Best of Luck.
