@Perry Rose awesome explaination! I think I am going to print that out. I am doing it a little different, but that is because I only had enough $$ to get a domain and hosting to start out. Tons and tons of articles, great content and 2 months later I am waiting on my first check for $105, and the next one will be much much larger Like konradbraun said, it isn't easy to set up. especially if you want something unique. i had to go get some PHP books from the library and bang my head against the wall day after day. DP was also a great help, as far as reminding me it COULD be done, I just had to do it. Good luck
