Hi
I’m new to WordPress, and I don’t know what your background is, but if you are familiar with (X)HTML it might not be that difficult. I moved my blog from MovableType to WordPress a few days ago, and it only took a few hours to convert the MT theme to a WP one. I found these two resources really useful:
This tutorial series takes you through building a WordPress theme from scratch; it helps you understand how themes work:

If you are converting an existing static layout to WordPress, this might be a good place to start:

I knew practically nothing about WordPress before last week; my newly converted site is here:

The CSS still needs a bit of tidying up, but I think it’s not bad for a few hours’ work 🙂
