Alright I'm definitely into making my own site, as is everyone else here. But I'm sort of in a pickle. Because I really don't understand what you guys are saying. If someone could give me some help, maybe a site that describes all these mumbo jumbo words.

Words I currently have no clue about:
PHP
iframe
dev (border)

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not stupid. I know the extreme basics of HTML, and that's about it. I am pretty advanced on Photoshop too. All I want to do is know enough information now to make a half way decent web layout.

Thank you [insert name to whoever helps me]

PHP: Ok php is sort of like html pages . You can use php pages as well as html pages . A description of php is:
QUOTE
The PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP -- yes, the first "P" in the acronym does indeed stand for PHP!) allows web developers to create dynamic content that interacts with databases. PHP applications are normally found on Linux servers and in conjunction with MySQL databases. It provides those servers with functionality similar to that provided to the Windows platform by Active Server Pages technology.

People use php pages , you can use both php and html pages. php pages are much easier because you when making a layout you won't have to edit all your subpages like with html pages . to learn about php look here:
http://pootato.org/php
http://pixelfx.org

Iframes : Iframes are the same as divs . Iframes are using for positioning content. One good thing about iframes is that you can link pages into your iframe and when people visit your site and click a link to your subpages the page won't refresh like it would with divs. View the following sites for more iframe info.

dev border: Do you mean div borders? im not sure what exactly that is so yea.

But Yes thank you on the other two it makes it all that much less confusing.

Margins. A div border would be just... A border around a div. mellow.gif Margins are margins tho. It's the same for both iFrames and divs... but divs can remotely load content.
So... I suggest you delve though tutorials. Here's a few good sites for learning.
