    If you are new to wordpress then I would recommend you to download XAMPP and wordpress. Then setup localhost at your computer and play around with wordpress to see how it works. You can find many tuts on web about setting up wordpress in XAMPP. Good luck.

    I've been meaning to learn myself - bookmarked a few tutorials that look pretty good:

    WPdesigner tutorial

    ThemeShaper tutorial

    LawneyDesigns tutorial

    Basically, there's 3 steps:

    1. Designing the layout in Photoshop
    2. Slicing the finished layout
    3. Coding in PHP

    Good luck
