Layouts

ok, I have a problem, how in the world do you make layouts? I know how to attatch a picture, but other than that...I'm clueless! please help me! if you're willing, maybe making the layout I want and giving me the link! (lol, y'all probably wouldn't want to, but I would like some instructions!) I really need some help! It's for my TLOZ story. I had a friend make the other layout I have, so I have no clue as to how I can do it! she told me, but i've forgotten. please help! It would mean a lot to me! thanks!

(please don't pay attention to this last bit here, it's just to fill up space. I needed more to post for the 200 words(liked it when it was 100) so i just put one of my poems. feel free to read it, but u can just ignore it if u wish. I would just like answered the top of this journal)

Goes the video game controler.
I'm sitting in my chair,
Coca-Cola and a new box of White Cheddar Cheez-its at my side.
Game: pause
Glug, glug
I drink my cola
Munch, munch
I eat a fourth of the box Cheez-its
"Wo, better stop eating the Cheez-its or the next box will come from my pocket"
Game: unpause
"No!"
