Assuming you mean coding as in shop blogs then I've a blog tutorial here. If you mean guild layouts though, you could try learning the basics off that tutorial and applying it to a guild layout. -.0

That guide uses tables, which are not meant to be used in designing, only to format data (as in Excel, you know with all the columns etc :P)
Use div layers and CSS instead, gives you better control over the layout and lesser and cleaner code :)

http://www.w3schools.org to learn more about (X)HTML and CSS.

EDIT: I checked the images in your photobucket account, I would say about 3-5 divlayers.

EDIT again: http://ibisaeg.mine.nu/andras/Bloglayout

Ok, 2 divlayers then ;P
Although I think that the images is way to small, if you're gonna make a site out of them, I sit with 1280x960, and my winamp is bigger than that thing ;P And it was the biggest of the three I could find.
