Template help please

I’m finding the WordPress more difficult to customise now, especially when I am not PHP illiterate.

I kinda liked that prev. template change thing, because I always linked it to my own CSS stylesheet and all i had t do was remove certain things, that only gave me what I need.

Now, I just want the Title, time, author, diary entry and comments and I can’t even do that!

I’ve altered this and that by experimenting, and all it does is make it was.

I like the prev. wordpress template. 1.5 – “short and sweet”. yes, but more difficult.
