Hello

Got a question:  Is there any better tutorials or examples of changing 
templates and themes setups... So you don't have to use the defaults 
that come with WP.. I know the WP site has some great offers but they 
really don't go into much detail about the widgets, tags and functions 
that were added into this version of WP and I would really like to make 
my own by learning but don't want to use a default to learn from because 
I don't want to be accused of stealing ones idea when using as a 
guide....  I have spent hours trying to read back and forth on the 
changes made to this great blog software and well I want to know exactly 
what I am looking for when something goes wrong and I can say hey I have 
a problem and I can ask it right in here..

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Kathleen
