Almost all WordPress themes are built in the following manner -- an index, page and single post template that inserts the header, sidebar and footer PHP files. Header files usually have some degree of customization to them, linking to the stylesheet, with custom layout elements for the logo or branding elements. Almost all of the sidebar WP3 themes are the same, while the footer php files also have a bit of customization to them. Changing these files can be fairly easy if you know basic HTML. Just make sure to save frequent backups so that you can backtrack one step in case you make a mistake. You can usually make some basic HTML and CSS structural changes to these files without too much effort.
