You'd probably use divs, and for that you'll need to know the absolute positioning of each box. That means how many pixels it is from the top, and from the side, how many pixels wide, how many tall - all the measurements, in pixels.

For this I use MS Paint (just regular Paint; comes with Windows); Use the rectangle selection tool, and click at the edge of your background image then drag to where you want your text box to begin. Don't let go yet! Now look at the bottom right-hand corner, and it will have the measurements (in pixels) of the box you're drawing. If you're checking horizontal distances, it's the first number, vertical distances, the second.

If you look at Lissa's codes for div layouts, you'll see where these measurements fit in . . . it's not too complicated after that. http://www.lissaexplains.com/html7.shtml
