I was working on that thread and had to back off because shit just got to crazy trying to post every single little step I am still working on something locally that is a bit more organized and will post it when done, could be next month could be next year.
Until then you can go to Wordpress.org and you will find evrything you need there.
This guy above me has been designing for years so its no big surprise that he found it easy and in fact it is easy, but if you have no experience at all your in for a learning experience. You need to know PS to design, XHTML and CSS to code and at least an understanding of basic PHP to get the heart of the site pumping. But like I said basic knowledge will do you, learn WP tags and also check out a few tutorials on conditional statements and your good to go..
