Simple template guide?

in an image editor create a 1px by 1px tranparent image.

Save it as logo.gif and upload it to includes -> templates -> YOUR_TEMPLATE -> images. This will replace the ZC Logo.

Aha! Much obliged! Oh wise and wonderful Clyde, how does one also remove the TagLine Here text?

Lastly, is there anywhere that says exactly what files are pulling from the CSS? (i.e. how a PHP newbie would read it?)

How do I change the "sales message goes here"/"TagLine Here" text?

In order to add your own "sales text", changes will have to be made in includes -> languages -> English (or YOUR LANGUAGE) -> header.php.
Open the file in a text editor and find the following line of code:

define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'TagLine Here');

Make your changes to the text highlighted in red. Save the file and copy it to the includes -> languages -> English (or YOUR LANGUAGE) -> YOUR_TEMPLATE folder and upload it to your server.

This is an excerpt from tpl_header.php.

The portions in red are the IDs called from the stylesheet.css

<!--bof-branding display-->
<div id="logoWrapper">
<div id="logo">
<?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?>
</div>
<div id="taglineWrapper">

<?php
if (HEADER_SALES_TEXT != '') {
?>
<div id="tagline"><?php echo HEADER_SALES_TEXT;?></div>
