Thanks for the tip. Does this mean that the default template files also don't change? I don't want to miss some new feature that gets folded into updated templates because I'm not picking them up. I've also been poking around the Codex. I think I need to spend more time exploring that and reading the WP source. That will give me a better idea of how things work. Cool. Thanks for the tip.

WordPress uses themes, it comes with two default ones. Just copy one of those (probably default) to a new directory and change the name in the stylesheet and you have your own theme which is completely preserved during upgrades. Even though a ton of things have changed, we've maintained backward compatibility for templates going to versions almost two years back, so the chances are very good your customizations will work for a very long time.
