of your site. Several sample themes are included in the Drupal
installation and more can be downloaded from drupal.org.

contains a PHP file themename.theme which defines a function header()
that can be changed to reference your own logos.
Simple customization of your theme can be done using only CSS. Further
changes require understanding the phptemplate engine that is now part

check the themes/ directory for READMEs describing each alternate theme.
