a short tutorial on how to make a layout with PSP:
1. open up a new image in your PSP
2. make the layout, this means you make it as ONE big image
3. make area's in it where you want the text appear for example
4. save it as .gif or .png or if you have allot of real photos in it save it as .jpg but mostly webimages are saved as .gif because of the fonts (they don't view well in .jpg)
then you are going to code it. You can use divs (http://www.lissaexplains.com/html7.shtml) for instance. I find them very easy myself, because you are no longer needed to cut up your image etc.
you can also use tables (http://www.lissaexplains.com/tables.shtml) but with tables you have to slice up the image. You can do this with PSP too. Go to File > export > image slicer. Then make lines on the image to decide where the program has to slice the image.
you can code it in notepad for instance, that's the most easy way to learn it all. But first i would say: do not start doing this untill you know atleast how to code with html.
a search (http://www.lissaexplains.com/forum/search.php) on the forum may also be usefull, since many tutorials have been asked here (example of keywords: div tutorial, div layout, table layout, psp layout etc)
