how do i make a layout for a fansite?

Answer 1

Go either learn html, or go to www.angelfire.com then sign up there, fill out the information, then advertise it.. When you make a webpage, it'll have an editor so all you have to do is put it how you want it, and you don't have to edit any HTML or any other programming language unless you switch it to professional...
