Comment on WordPress Theme Development by SEO Dave.
With regards editing the theme, yes it’s possible to change the Talian theme, how much depends on your skill level and what you plan to change.
The mountain/desert image near the top is very easy to change. Go to the images folder within the Talian folder and find the someimage.gif and replace it with your image.
As long as your image is a gif and named someimage.gif with the dimensions 480 by 120 that’s all you have to do.
The other images like the ones that create the orange and green stripes are also found in the images folder, would be quite easy to edit, for example the menu headers are created from the image h2navbg.gif, load it in Paintshop Pro or something and make yourself a new version and upload over the original images.
Don’t forget to backup your original images.
