You have to go into the theme editor and edit the CSS to your liking. It's been a while since I've used Wordpress, but it should be under the Appearance tab, I believe. You could also browse through the folders and edit the CSS files yourself (wp-content>themes>default>style.css, I think).

It's not just CSS. You'd also have to edit the header, footer and sidebar files respectively. It's a matter of separating the codes and putting them in the appropriate sections.

Try this. It's pretty in-depth. Basically you just dissect the code of a regular HTML page and place them into the corresponding files. If you look at step 3, you'll find a colour-coded breakdown of what needs to go where.

Yes, I know. But I assumed the OP knew that if they edit the CSS, they'd have to edit the HTML as well.
