learning web design for my blog?

As anyone who has seen my blog will know, the awesomeness of the content is unrivaled. However, since I have no web design experience, I am limited to using blogger, and the site design is, shall we say, complete garbage.
I am going to set out on a quest to learn basic web design so i am not so limited, and it appears that a functional knowledge of dreamweaver and Wordpress would allow me to do pretty much whatever I wanted.
So my question is, what is the best way to learn these programs, and are there any good free online resources.
Thanks ahead of time.
BTW, my site is still the best. That is all.

I haven't used it to re-design my blog yet, but I will. There's a great pdf that explains web design on blogspot. Hope it helps! -

Yes, it can be difficult to find your way through that resource at first, but perseverance will pay dividends in this case.-
