Wordpress Problems

Well my intended shift to Wordpress for Pens Insider is hitting a snafu. For some reason I am getting an error and now I have to spend a large chunk of time to fix the template. I just wish wordpress would be easier or that there would be a book I could read to figure out all of my wordpress problems. I heard all good things about wordpress but now that I am trying to move my blog over it seems to get a lot harder.
