Hi Stever. I've used bBlog before, but have switched to wordpress. For some reason I just couldn't wrap my head around those bBlog smarty templates and I found there was much more of a community and support for wordpress on the net, and in adult forums. If you are trying to make your own template for WP, there is an excellent little tutorial that hits all the basics quite well in a step by step format at

That tutorial has helped me a lot with making word press themes. I hope that helps.
