Holly and I wrote two articles on just this subject for CMX
(but alas we didn't know about the 1's bug, darn it!), and the 
first is here:

http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=01DB3

The 2nd part covers the actual layout stuff and has a mini-tut
on the layout subject, but it's a subscriptin site. You can go
to the main page and there's a link to a 10 day free trial so
you will be able to read it. The only requirement is that you
have to show the ability to pay via plastic before getting 
the free trial.

That 2nd part was published only yesterday!
