    Hello World! - I saw those words for the first time(in html/php) about a month ago when I decided I wanted to make a webpage! How about you?

    Back to the introduction :)

    You might ask, "Why do you wish to build a website?" Well, the best answer is I am obsessive compulsive and spend all my time on a current project until I master my vision. This time it just happens to be creating a webpage as I was at the bookstore and picked up an html/css book! A good reason? Probably not! However, this project seems like it will last longer than RC helicopters.

    Hmmm... Moving on!

    Perhaps I should say what my vision for this project is? Well as I have read all I can find on php/css/html/w3c I constantly thought about the website I should create. Of course the more I thought about it the grander it became.

    How did the thought process flow? Well a list will be best here..

    Week 0 - A simple content orientated url.
    Week 1 - A very complex content orientated website.
    Week 2 - Creating a user community orientated around the content.
    Week 3 - Creating dynamically growing website -

    Oh Oh, the goals -

    1. Create content which will initially attract users.
    2. Create a reason for said users to return.
    3. Create a reason for those users to post links everywhere and tell friends.

    Anyway, this project is now a beast which I suspect will be finally online sometime around Christmas. Why am I posting here? Well I hate to say it but I am terrible at the aesthetic design portion. Its just not my cup of tea. I can do the back coding and create my own content management system. I can also code the html/css but it will not be a pretty design!

    Through this process I am going to be posting status updates and see if people will tell me when my design Sucks. I know it will most of the time. Perhaps I will setup an online html editor and allow people to edit the page for me! Yay

    Bye now..

    Oh yea, I am from Georgia!! According to CBNC we are #4 for business so take it!
