Joomla!
In what has become something of a redundancy, I'm going to recommend trying Joomla.
It's a free open-source content management system that gives you total freedom and control over your humble site. It's a quick download and it's VERY easy to learn and use, even if you're new to site building.
Dreamweaver and Photoshop are great tools... too great, in my opinion (they take a long, long, LONG time to become proficient at).
Something like Joomla and (believe it or not) Microsoft Powerpoint are all you really need. Powerpoint (the newer versions at least) has a ton of awesome image-manipulating tools built in, and most people already have it on their computers. It's definitely no Photoshop, but it's WAY easier to do and you don't have to drop hundreds of dollars to obtain it.
Linking images is only the start of the fun!
Joomla.com
While you're there, check out the "extensions" part of the site. You'll be blown away.
btw, all you really have to do to link any image is insert a simple bit of code... no matter which software you use:
<a href="www.yourlink.com"><img src="thePathToYourImage.jpg"></a>
thats all it takes!
