Almost everything about Wordpress can be customized through your
theme. Themes are where WordPress really starts to shine. Here are a
few example themes:
You can browse and download thousands of themes from:
http://themes.wordpress.net/
How do I install a new theme?
Your themes are located in a subdirectory of your WordPress
installation: <your WordPress installation
directory>/wp-content/themes/. Each theme has it’s own directory,
which is the name of theme. You’ll always start out with a
theme called “default” which is the standard WordPress theme. To add a
new theme download the zip file for the theme and unzip it into your
/wp-content/themes/ directory. That’s it! You should now see the new
theme under the Presentation -> Theme tab in the administration back
end.
