I can't code any of the layouts I have made in the past. Does anyone know any tutorials that really work ? Please tell me if you do : )

It's probably easier to learn how to code first, and then make the layout graphic, so you might want to just browse lissa's site.

Daydream graphics (http://www.daydreamgraphics.com/tutorials/list.php?cat_id=7) has tutorials for several types of layouts.
