Learning CSS and updating the theme for this blog do not necessarily have to be the same thing. There are many excellent themes already uploaded on the WordPress directory. I would suggest you find one that you like and use it to model your own desired effect. Good luck on your project.

There are several good places mentioned in comments here to start shopping for new CSS styles. But if you need to keep it simple for testing core WP then you might want to start with simple formatting - background and foreground colors, fonts, and columns. The key thing to remember about any CSS changes it you Must see how the page looks in different browsers and versions of browsers. This blog is kinda nice using anti-styling.

Take a look at his site http://www.useit.com/ and you'll see what I mean if you have not been there before. Anyhow, I am a fan of semantic markup and valid XHTML and CSS and all of that. Before you go doing the whole reset thing, maybe take a look at Jeffrey Zeldman's "Designing with Web Standards" and perusing good old alistapart.com itself (though you must, because you went to An Event Apart, right?. Start simple. Maybe some typography changes. Maybe set a liquid width that maxes out at 80% of the users screen? Well, Jakob Nielson would argue that content is king.
