changing WP theme

  • Hi,
    I downloaded a theme and I want to change it. I know very little html, css, etc. I’m learning as I go. I have a free html editor but it doesn’t show split screen.
    1. Would it be unwise to make and save a copy of the code; change one thing at a time with a working copy; try it and see what happens; reload the original if it blows up?
    2. The theme (aqua bloc) has this in the code:
    ‘ <!– remember to complete the following –>
    <meta name=”language” content=”en” />
    <meta name=”author” content=”Author’s Name” />
    <meta name=”copyright” content=”Copyright Holder’s
    Name” />
    <meta name=”keywords” content=”Comma separated
    keywords” />
    <!– remember to upload a favicon of your choice to the
    root directory –>
    <link rel=”shortcut icon”
    href=”https://newbieaffiliatesclub.com/favicon.ico&#8221; /> ‘

    Is “remember to complete the following” a programming comment? And am I supposed populate those fields?

    Thanks for any help,
    Carlos
