The first thing you need to do is surf for at least a couple of months. This will give you a good idea of what you like and don't like. It is also a great resource for ideas for layouts, topics, etc. Next, you need to come up with a subject and a theme for your site.
Nobody is interested in visiting a site with just a bunch of links to other sites.
You need a subject that is interesting, entertaining, informative, creative, etc. Find Graphics that are appropriate for your subject and theme. Decide how you want your pages arranged. Create your pages. You can do this with a simple text editor, or you can use software that is specifically designed to do this for you.
