    How viable is this?

    I'm a graphic designer. I designed a wordpress theme. It's all ready to be turned into a template.

    Buuut... is this at all easily accomplished without being a guru at coding?

    I could tinker with CSS, but I'm afraid by opening PHP files, I'm just going to be confused as can be.

    How viable is it for a beginner like me to turn this thing into a working template? Where can I find good information that's written with an idiot like me in mind?

    Well, theming isn't too complicated. Just look at the default theme and how they insert the tags in the template. Use that as a guide. WP has very good documentation.

    Alternatively, you could hire someone to either translate your design into a theme or simply take your XHTML/CSS files and turn that into a theme.

    Good luck.

    Small potato's tutorial introduced the basic skills of designing WordPress themes including CSS, it's good for beginers, if you want to know more about CSS, I suggest you to visit W3CSchools.org
