Did you look at all the wordpress docs? This page on templates seems useful.
It would seem to me that, in theory, CSS should give you everything you need to make a custom theme.

That's a good page to remember...I haven't been all over the Wordpress site yet. Thanks! My issue is that you can't use custom templates on blogs hosted by Wordpress; you have to use the ones that Wordpress provides. Now, if you write a good template, and get Wordpress to adopt it on the .com site, then you can use it on a hosted blog.
And I think I'm capable of writing the html and css files to build a template. What I can't do is figure out the MySQL and php stuff to host my the blog myself, which is what you have to do if you want to use custom themes. In other words, I could build it, but I can't use it until I can figure out how to host it myself, and not with wordpress.com (which is a separate, less geek-oriented site than wordpress.org, which has all the developer and source code info).
