I know WordPress is supposed to be so easy to use that even a caveman can do it, and that's true for making posts, links, etc. But when it comes to customizing the look of your site, I get totally lost. Just doing something simple like changing a header section to insert a company logo is out of my reach, where in Dreamweaver I can do it in 2 seconds.

I even bought the new "WordPress For Dummies" book and that hardly helped.

Just wondering if anyone else feels this way or has any suggestions.

Should I switch to another blog script or CMS?
Should I just hire a designer?
Is there somewhere on the web that offers easy to follow directions for customizing a WP template?

What I LIKE about WP is the ability to write multiple posts at once but have them show up on the site in the future. If I could do this with a regular HTML site I'd probably just stick with Dreamweaver.
