A) Setting up the Theme - top

As any other wordpress theme. Just upload the revista folder to your /wp-content/themes/ folder. And go to Appearance > Themes and activate it.

Installing Necessary Plugins

I suggest you immediately install the "contact form" plugin attached with the downloaded ZIP. Upload it through your admin dashboard via the plugins tab, and make sure you activate it.
The next step is to create a new page and insert this code in it, in order to show off the contact form: [contact_form]

Setting up the Menu

The menu in the homepage, could be customized in anyway you want. Adding pages to it, categories, custom urls... etc
In your admin dashboard, go to Appearance > Menus . Create a new menu, call it Navigation if you wanted. And add items to it. And make sure you set this menu as your PRIMARY NAVIGATION.

Customizing the Logo

When you install your theme, the logo comes as a text. If you wanted to insert an image instead, go to the Theme Options under the Appearance tab, and enter the url of the logo or upload it from your computer and save the settings.

B) Adding Thumbnails to Posts - top

Adding thumbnail to posts is quite easy. Simply in every post there is a Set up a featured image option under the posts tags. Click on it and UPLOAD the image from your computer and set it as the featured image. Make sure the image is attached to your post.

note: If you do not upload the image from your computer, the prettyphoto feature might not work when you click on the image.
Also if you don't set up a featured image for the post, a default image will show up in the homepage for that post.

C) Changing the Banner in the Header - top

Changing the banner in the header could be done by editing the header.php of the theme. Open it using your Theme Editor in your dashboard and find this code:

<div id="bannerad">
<a href="#"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/468x60.png" alt=""></a>
</div>
		

Change the url and the banner's location.

D) Showing Authors Biography Under Each Post - top

It will automatically show up under each post you write if you set it up in your profile. If you don't want it to show up then just don't write anything in your Profile's Biography.

As I said at the beginning, I'd be glad to help you if you have any questions relating to this theme. No guarantees, but I'll do my best to assist.
