Well then...please dont if you cant.

Serisouly, here are some tips:

Do's 'n Dont's
Have a good Graphic editing program! Dont just go to photobucket or Deviant art and find a pretty image someone else made and add some words in MS paint and have made a layout!

Its not a real layout unless the image has been thoroughly edited which means using brushes, textures, resourses and a lot of other stuff. Making an image should take you atleast about 20 minutes to create.

Now how to use your graphic editing program! Dont start making layouts if you just got photoshop! Why not take a month before you start by taking lots of tutorials and playing around with it?

Some good programs are Photoshop(PS), Paint Shop Pro 7 (PSP), and Photofiltre, not MS Paint, or some free program you found on the net.

Now your own coding! Dont steal someone elses! At my school they teach us html and css, ive read my moms books about it, ive tooken multiple tutorials from all over, dont just scrounge up other people coding from all over. Everyone has their own specail ay of coding a lyout, and they will know if you stole some of theirs.

Although some parts of coding are simple and easy, other people still have their own way of making it theirs. Me, I have 2 different types of coding. My first try, and my now favorite. There are different ways to code layouts, fine one that you like and stick with it.

Make sure you tell the people how to use the layout or give them links to places were they can get stuff to put on their page. Some poeple are new, or jsut stupid, they need to understand.



Well, that was some of my tips to help people who know they have enough skills to start making good layouts!
