    Ok I have moved my blog to a more professional hosting service.

    Now I installed wordpress, but where is the place where I can edit the template, like you can in Blogger. How do you access it?

    /root/wp-content/themes/[theme name]

    :)

    edit:

    Or in the wp back-end you go to 'Presentation' --> 'Theme Editor' - just make sure the permissions are set correctly.

    I think I'm understanding that there isn't one simple template.

    I checked the files . .can anyone tell me which one allows me to switch the background image and delete the default header (gazotto.com. . .just another wordpress blog).

    Thanks,

    Skinny

    Several Wordpress templates have header images set up in the stylesheet, so look for the style.css file.

    However, as far as I can recall, the default template requires background image changes to be made in header.php in the template directory.

    Yeah, images are stores in header.php as far as I know (Although I have no idea why - I've never had any issues referencing them in style.css)
