    Well I'm not an expert on this but i'd start with a logo and banner, once you've done that you have some type of color scheme, then get the layout then I don't know :(

    well, first you would need extreme coding skills. OR you have to find a youtube video hosting script online, and install it on your website. AFTER, and ONLY after that, can you worry about the logo and layout. Looks wont get you anywhere without a purpose for the site.

    Thanks for the input. I agree with you. A logo for the site doesn't seem like the first priority, in this case.

    Hi apk2004,

    Just thought I'd chime in here and suggest you start with an already developed script for running a video hosting site. You can find them at places like hotscripts.com and php-scripts.com.

    The one I like most is called Clip-Share, but costs around 200 bucks...
    don't know what you're willing to invest.

    Hope this helps,
    PapaJoe

    Hi, I started playing with this yesterday out of boredom...

    http://www.phpmotion.com/

    Its ok. I can't comment on it too much. I haven't gotten that deep into it yet. It seems to work as advertised though. I haven't found any glaring issues.

    hope that helps
    Nigel

    I have a license for social media from www.entertainmentscripts.com if you're interested. I bought two licenses for some reason and don't have the time to work on two sites.
