Tweaking a Wordpress Theme and Skin

Hi.

I am building a new site (The Performance Marketing Journal) and I am running this on Wordpress using the Thesis Theme, and the Kolakube Nexis skin.

I want to add a big headline to the bottom grey box. "Fundamental Skills Performance Marketers Need" (or something like that). I may want to use a graphic instead of text for the headline.

Does anyone know how/where I would go about modifying the skin to include this?

I am not much of coder, but I can sort of bumble my way through a little HTML.

Thanks for any suggestions you have.

      Sorry, the big one at the bottom that have the 3 text widgets in them (where I put the copywriting, split testing, and search headlines.

      I want to put the title above this.

        HTML Code:
        <div id="footer">

you can place your code here...........for the big image headline
</div>
    <ul>
        <li><h3>1, Response Copywriting</h3> <div class="textwidget"></div>
        </li> <li><h3>2. Split Testing</h3> <div class="textwidget"><table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="0" width="225">
  <tbody><tr>
    <th height="102" scope="col"><table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="1" border="0" width="300">

    most of the wp themes can be edited directly from the wp backend

    go to wp backend, then appearance, then edit.
