One way to go about making a map:
1. Come up with an idea for what you want to map.
2. read up tutorials from twhl and others: google search half-life mapping and/or cs mapping, and you will find tons of sites and tutorials.
3. download/install/configure Valve Hammer Editor. reference the tutorial Huntey aptly posted.
3a. Reference the forums for any configuration/setup questions
4. Build and compile your map.
4a. Search the forums and this site for questions/errors regarding your compile.
If i could give you one piece of advice as a new mapper (besides reading up on tutorials and the forums) is to compile your map often. Too often, i see mappers build the gigantic "map of their dreams" without trying to compile it even once during the build.
The result is an uncompilable map with so many errors, it's basically uncompilable. After you get your first "box" with an info_player_start and a light to compile and play, i would recommend compiling about every hour of editing time, or even less at the beginning.
Doing this will make it MUCH EASIER to troubleshoot problems with your first map...
Sorry for the long-winded response.. Hope it helps!

Why didn't I get a welcome like this?

Because you're not part of the puzzle. 
We would have extended the same courtesy had you asked.

Because you're a spammy spam spammer who made over 9000 redundant threads the first week you were here.
I think we should go around to all the most popular mapping forums, making a thread like this in each one, and grade the forum's helpfulness based on the kind of responses we get.
TWHL would be pretty low on the list, I think.
Facepunch probably last, since you'd probably get banned.

I'd think that TWHL would be among the most helpful of the remaining level design forums, because we have a pretty friendly and solid userbase.
I could be wrong.

A question like this in a forum like this doesn't ask for a good answer, because it's a question that already has been answered, both in the forum and the tutorials. From http://twhl.co.za/forums.php:
Use our Search function before posting in the forums: more often than not, your question would've already have been answered.

Yes, but as you said;
