Hey Uli,
Good on you - I agree that it's good to understand html as you at least know what you are doing when editing templates. Most important for me is CSS (cascading style sheets) which allow you to tweak the look of the various elements on the page.
Having said that, I agree with Peto too - I never start from scratch because there are so many awesome templates around which you can modify and base your design on. Check out the following site, which has free templates to download and use:
http://www.oswd.org
(The most recent ST layout is based on one of the templates from there)
