When you are logged-in (e.g. how Admin > "user-1") you can see you site and the other functions reserved to Admin (a dark menu bar on top the window). At the first time maybe you can set option inside the "Configuration" menu.
To "return" at you "external" site press the icon with the Home on the left (top menu).
You can to apply meny different themes (custom or template) but this basic concepts are ever true.

front end = back to the public root.
backend url = yoursite.com/?q=admin or yoursite.com/admin with clean urls enabled. Thus front end is at yoursite.com
yoursite.com is a placeholder, if your site lives in a sub directory be sure to include it in the path.

One thing that's not very clear to folks (especially those familiar with systems like joomla) is that there really is no 'front end' and 'back end' to a drupal site. Not like there is with joomla. The site is the site and what you see or can do is determined by the permissions the account/role has been given.
