I am a embarrassed to ask for this but can anyone recommend a good tutorial on creating themes on Wordpress?

I am more of a designer than a programmer and even as a programmer I am more familiar with Coldfusion than anything. I have skinned for other cms type software before without any issue (Magento, Mura CMS, Mango CMS, FarCry CMS), I just never had a need for wp much at my mainstream job and when we did need one I built the layout then it was given to a developer while i worked on designing the next job.

I had found what looked like a decent tute but it was written in like 06 lol. The cms systems above you can pretty much just add your graphics and modify the css and layout pages to build a theme, even with Magento you can copy their theme and mod it up then just add and remove certain modules/blocks via xml pages and layout pages. The few tutorials I have gone through talk about the loop and writing like 10 pages to get the thing to work lol. I am just hoping someone can say "hey, here's one that's accurate" and post a link for me if possible

I have a blog site I would like to write some posts for and I see now that wp is prob the best way to go, just have to jump that initial hurdle.

Thanks guys
