Wordpress help? (it's relevant, I'm on python planet!)

Does anyone have advice on a good place to look for a quick
guide on
how to get up-to-speed on modifying my wordpress blog?  Now
that
people are apparently actually reading me, I feel like I
should
actually make it look good.

Thanks!

Well, the obvious place -- just in case you hadn't thought
of it yourself (!) -- is the Wordpress codex and the
official
themes site:

http://codex.wordpress.org

http://themes.wordpress.o
rg

Personally, I've always just downlaoded some useful-looking
theme and then poked at the PHP until it did what I
wanted.

I'm not hosting it personally though, how do I get access to
the php?

(re Wordpress mods)

Well, assuming I understand you... I'm not hosting mine
"personally" (ie on some server sitting in my
living room).
But I do have shell access to the account on the shared
host I use. That said, the Wordpress admin interface gives 
you access to the files involved in a theme (under 
Presentation > Theme Editor), and I assume you have
*some* 
kind of FTP / scp access to get the stuff there in the first

place 

HTH. If not, feel free to clarify / ask again.
