Mark,
There are no dumb questions here. I have wondered that very same thing myself, except I’ve never followed up on it like you just did.
Thanks for posting your question!

You can add that after bloginfo(‘name’).

Mark,
You can put it anywhere you like…I created a CSS class called “subtitle” and did my styling there. Then, I put the subtitle text onto the page whereever I felt like having it. You could put it in its own DIV if you like. The “where” is really up to you.
