Gimp, Designing, and Javascript!

I am learning how to use Gimp because I cannot afford photoshop. I am having the hardest time trying to find tutorials that teach me how to make borders on gimp. Also, Gimp is so confusing that the world of tutorials is very limited and so it makes it harder on me, a newbie, learning gimp.

I am also trying to find out how to create a website layout in Photoshop/Gimp and then code it in html. I know html, I just do not know how to create a layout and then code it.

I also am struggling to learn Javascript too! It is sooo confusing! I love coding but Javascript is so intricate and there are a lot of things to know and remember. I feel like I need a cheat sheet for it.
