helloo there. so I'm pretty much a complete newbie at website making and everything, but I'm quite eager to learn all I can right now. My question is, where do I start? taking html or css classes? lol so far my only skill would be photoshop (not that great at it either..) oh and kinda random, but what's this mean: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Vestibulum leo enim, commodo quis, fringilla eu, fringilla id, orci. Maecenas volutpat, nibh quis sagittis convallis, mi magna aliquam turpis." I've seen it on a lot of sites..
Okay, it really depends on what you want to do. If you want to code websites, then start learning CSS and HTML. If you want to make graphics, then start doing some Photoshop tutorials, and practicing as much as you can. That text is called "Dummy Lipsum" and is used as filler text to show how a template will appear with text in it. If you want some friendly guidance, feel free to add me on MSN.
thanks everyone *i got a PM from this 88888 guy saying its offering free web hosting for DP members and stuff. is it real?
LOL first . Welcome to DP second. Ask that in some appropriate forum like general chat etc He might offer you free hosting and so do a lot of other free hosts but he will surely earn from the content you put there. He will put ads and mayb even sell the site when it has got a certain amount of traffic and you will be left high and dry. I read you are good at photoshop . Just pick up something that you can do as long as you can. Something which doesn't bore you a lot and try improving on it everytime. I myself am an IT engg but now i write articles for 2$ - 5$ per 100 words and easily make 100 $ + a week but just writing a few tech articles and some on general and political stuff. Pm me with your email addy and we can chat.
Welcome to DP, remember we were all newbie at one stage. I agree that a great way to start would be to learn HTML/CSS, for me I learned by editing free templates.
Welcome you will like it here! and you are starting in the right place by introducing yourself, I enjoy general chat quite often you can start there.
