    Upgrading is as easy as updating. Follow the instructions, backup your stuff, etc. You'll love 6 compared to 5.

    You could always edit an existing one with a unique photo/logo, which is pretty easy to do. Generally it just requires you to upload a new logo in the themes section. Just figure out which theme you want, then play around with different logo sizes.

    I imagine your themes like http://bola.kompas.com/. You change Stadium background image with American Civil War Battlefield. How is that?

    Your site looks complete, full of things, but yes the theme doesn't render justice to your site and in fact deserves it big time.
    It is not adapted to old people sight, when such a simple layout could be the only advantage for your audience.
    So better change it with pretty much any other theme that you can find on drupal.org.

    Personally I have sites in drupal 5 which I won't update to 6. But I try to upgrade them to the latest 5 version, for security fixes.

    Nice site.. It could use a new theme with some cool civil war graphics.

    If you go though the work of a new theme you should just upgrade to drupal 6 while you are at it.

    I think the site will look good if you upgrade from drupal 5.5 version to drupal 6
