Not a graphic design question as it stands - probably belongs on wordpress.stackexchange.com – e100 Apr 4 '12 at 11:05

As @e100 pointed out, this is not really a graphic design question yet, particularly since you're asking about syntax.

Some advice, considering that you state you're a total beginner: Don't think of designing a Wordpress theme entirely from scratch unless you absolutely have to. Instead, start with a theme like Thematic and customize it using child themes (usually a file called functions.php and your custom CSS). There is also a guide here.

If you have limited PHP and CSS experience, you can also explore a theme like Atahualpa which allows you to customize your site design through your Wordpress dashboard and allows you to relatively quickly customize the look of your site without having to do any work in PHP or CSS.
