What is a good simple layout that i could make that i could add a picture to it and add links and all that good stuff? Is there an easy code for layouts or a site with simple layout instructions?

layouts can be done in thousands of different ways.
perhaps find a good site to show as an example and we can try to help you achieve it.
if you read over lissa's tutorials, using tables, frames, iframes, divs, and css can do a lot of layout coding. learn a bit of it and grow from there.

I looked as the Css layout but i was alittle confused! i have an example of what i mean http://www.geocities.com/rainbow_mist2/Layout1.html something on the line of that! I think i have an idea of what to do but i am not sure :-)

wow, im so confused. that link you gave, it didnt exactly seem to have layouts on it, so i'd love to help but i dont understand what you're asking for, haha. sorry!

Heres a simple popular layout that I can just code for you.

<table width="779px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><img src="banner.gif" alt="" width="779px" height="130px"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100px" valign="top">
Left Navigation
</td>
<td width="579px" valign="top">
Content in the middle
</td>
<td width="100px" valign="top">
Right Navigation
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Now of course it's very plain so you can add CSS properties to it but that should hopefully help you get started.

I think Tables are the easiest, or Divs, Frames/Iframes are too hard for me O.o
