I'm pretty new to the club...I've officially been webmastering since late January of '08. Definitely a great computer hobby to have...and at times a very exhausting part time job, too.
How did you get started? And what books did you read? I just signed up for a free web site magazine subscription (http://us-en.tradepub.com/free/webs/prgm.cgi) and I'm hoping this will help. Have you read it and is it any good? Free Website Magazine: 1-Year Subscription A free magazine offering practical advice and helpful tools from industry experts to help any website achieve Internet success.

I mess around computers since my Commodore 64. 1995 I launched my first website on free hosting with 2 biiig banners.
I started two years ago...my dad gave me a site in which i started from that then started learning programming languages etc..
I created my first site in 1996, using Notepad. Adsense wasn't around then. That site is now long gone. My second(current) site was created in 2008, also using Notepad.
I have been at this for about two years now, my online income has been slowly rising so I am very happy
