There's a good collection of design info here: http://www.problogger.net/category/blog-design/

While the site is specific to blogging, many of the tips can be applied to more general websites as well.

There's also information at about.com: http://webdesign.about.com/

I think one of the best ways to learn about web design and layouts is just to browse different sites and see what works and what doesn't. There are certain tried and true techniques of design that hold true no matter what, and by taking note of what's out there, you can determine what they are make them work for you. The most important thing you can consider in a web layout is usability; if people can't figure out how to navigate your site, they won't waste their time. Then you can work on the fun part...making it it pretty

this is a basic layout tutorial its really good. but the best way to make a template for a forum or something you need to go to the forums website and read their tutorials to help you. all of the good and editable forum websites should have a section for how to mod but if all else fails google it.
