I'm trying to use Wordpress on my Hostgator account. They've loaded it for me and I think I get the general idea but I'd like to change the "standard" background to something a little "snazzier". Any ideas?

If you go to
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ then you can download a new theme for your blog. Unzip the theme, then FTP it to the wp-content/themes/ directory.

there's also the brand new Wordpress.tv that you could check out for video tutorials

You can also go to youtube and search for wordpress tutorial videos. I've had a lot of help from some of them (although you have to pick and choose a bit).
