I must do a picture "collage". The options in Frontpage are not desired
because "the pictures aren't together enough" (in other words, I have no
choice). Our company does have Photoshop Elements 3 but noone uses it nor
can explain to me. Does anyone have step-by-step instructions on how to do
it in this software or how to get this done another way? I'm open to (and
would be very appreciative for) any suggestions.

Thanks for your time and advice.
 
You are asking for someone to teach you how to use Photoshop Elements?

Hey Scott,

You don't say if you want to create a collage from many images as a
composition that is published to your web as a single image but the fact
that you even ask the question obviates that conclusion which otherwise
would be silly an ludicrous.

Good thing I happen to be psychic and can read between the lines. :-) All I
can tell you is you will need to learn how to use CSS-Positioning to lay
images on top of one another to create a collage. AFIK, FrontPage nor any
other push-button monkey code generator will do this for you. Some of the
more sophisticated paint programs may do so allowing the composition to be
saved as HTML and then copied and pasted into the HTML source of a page.
I would not know that for a fact but I do doubt any of the paint programs
support this type of sophisticated compposition capability.

CSS is very time consuming to learn and get right but also very satisfying.
You can see how I've done it at 'my' website where I use CSS-Positioning to
make images overlap HTML elements as well as other images as I have in fact
created a collage. This is a technique that once learned you will enable you
to really get your groove on.

The web is full of tutorials to help you learn everything you need.
