You will have to integrate the wordpress functions that generate the page content into your wordpress theme, the best place to get you started is the WordPress Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org
As for AdSesne, there is a very good plugin that will give complete control over AdSense, you can set the sidebars, pages, categories or posts where you want adsense to appear very easily.
Try it: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-adsenser/
Well thats disapointing. i wanted to get it but its not nearly as good as i thought it would be. that giant ass logo kills it. guess ill stick to the street theme. thanks for saving me 2 50
I have a 120GB xbox in the living room (my main xbox) which I download any themes I like, but a 20GB xbox in my bedroom which I use to download all other themes to make vids.
I have checked your blog on typepad.com and its actually a very basic setup and will be very easy to customize the wordpress theme…
Google for how to customize wordpress theme basically you need to make changes in the theme files that are
header.php
index.php
sidebar.php in your case there will be 2 sidebars so you have to use the function.php file to configure 2 sidebars
single.php
page.php
footer.php
and mainly style.css
I can help you with this as I love to share knowledge with others coz I believe I cannot use this knowledge after ill be gone so better utilize it now

You can't! You have to host it on your own domain with a private hosting company in order to do that!

Unfortunately, a good WordPress skin requires at least a working knowledge of PHP, HTML and CSS.
Actually, those are all required in any Web application skinning / theme creation.

Unzip the file. Put the contents in the theme directory on the server.
September 17th, 2009 - 05:58
I've only used Wordpress that I host myself, but according to http://wordpress.com/features/ it says you can choose from 60 themes.
In the dashboard try going to Design> Themes. It sound like they may be already loaded, you just choose and activate.

I worked my BUTT off trying to do this and ended up having to have my dad help me with it.
/* HEADER */
#header{
width:100%;
height:111px;
background:none;
}
The portion where it says "background:none;" is where you're going to put your picture. You need an FTP client to upload the image file to the file where your wordpress site is located.
The CSS for the background is as follows:
/* HEADER */
#header{
width:100%;
height:111px;
background: url(picture folder/picturename.jpg or whatever file extension.)
}
i.e: background: url(background/headerbg.jpg);
}
Hope I Helped,
-Billy
P.S.- After you have written in that code FTP the file up using an FTP client such as FileZilla.
