Where to begin?!

I bought the vBulletin software on Friday, finally managed to get it all up and running, and am now ready to make some templates. I've been customsing forums for a few years now, but usually I just jump in without reading the manual and they always turn out really cheap and messy. This time however, since vBulletin IS the finest of the lot, I want to do it properly, and read the full documentation. However, I don't know where to begin. Is there something in the members area or somewhere that acts as a tutorial on customizing the templates? I read the one in the manual, but it didn't mention html or anything that side of the customisation, and either way there's alot of settings.

I want to start off by simply making a new forum look. Which template should I start customising first?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
