If you are a beginner, enjoy.

If you are not, the following guide was designed to convey my idea of how the Newbie should proceed when they decide they are ready to build a layout. I expect that I will get plenty of disagreement. This is the place to voice that disagreement. I may or may not adapt my thinking and writing.

Note: I have include a few pictures of some nice layouts. If I used one of your pictures and you would like it removed, please let me know. I have given credit provided links to your site. I have also written you an email asking for permission.
