Where to begin?

Hi, I'm totally new to sqlexpress and I'm trying to create a database to store websites that my desktop application will manipulate; however, I don't know where to start, I've read many articles on msdn but they all are either non-existent or wasn't very helpful. All I want to do is create a table. Do I use vb.net express 2k5 or sql server express manager? I figure MS have to have created some kind of GUI for designing databases, if not I guess I'll just start hand writting the tables. Thanks for any help.
