Hey, I've been coming onto this site for quite awhile, browsing through different layouts and such. (mostly for myspace) Some of you have made some fabulous ones & I must say I am quite jealous of your skills!

I know pretty much nothing about html coding.. but I'm just starting to getting into making background layouts and such. I've started practicing by taking some current layouts already on the site and making new backgrounds and adding new photos and fonts to them of my own, just to see how they look.

Sometimes I find the layouts look great.. but the photos or fonts/wording that go along with them aren't something that I would really use.

Don't worry, I don't steal other people's layouts and pawn them off as my own, I just play around with them to see what I can come up with.. If I took the time to figure out all of the html coding for scroll bars and what not, Im sure I could make a layout from scratch.. but.. I haven't gotten that far yet! I just have fun creating new images and designs and things like that.

If anyone is interested in seeing some of the layouts I've made from already created layouts, please let me know, I'd really like your opinions on them. I'm very much into photography and I love incorportating my own photographs into layouts. Maybe some of you need specific photos for a layout or new design ideas? If you do.. please let me know and I'd be more than happy to help out.

Also, as far as the html coding goes.. does anyone have any tips on some simpler ways to start learning all of that so I can one day create my very own layout on my own?

Thanks for reading all of this! & I look forward to talking with you all and sharing ideas and feedback! =)
