I thought the link would be more useful as it is illustrated with screenshots and would be easier to follow. It's pretty basic though. Go to the main menu and select Layer > New > Layer.

The layer icon looks like a page being lifted. It is right at the bottom with the trash, save and contrast icons. You can see it on this picture: the one with the red arrow pointing at it. http://www.pegaweb.com/tutorials/beginners-guide-adobe-photoshop/2.jpg

I just noticed you've asked a lot of questions on photoshop. Someone has already suggested buying a book but you can also find free tutorials on the net. This is quite good as a starter http://www.pegaweb.com/tutorials/beginners-guide-adobe-photoshop/
whereas this will help you in achieving individual effects. http://photoshoptutorials.ws/
