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.

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

    go to wp backend, then appearance, then edit.
