where to start

[rss11]

Hi, I'm completely new to developing domains but its something i'd really like to do as something to fill up my spare time. I'm a media/journalism student so have never done anything like this before. I was wandering what advice people would give me.

is there a step by step list I should follow to make sure I get things correct.

I know i'm asking for a lot of help but I really am clueless and just need to be pointed in the right direction. I've done a lot of reading already but to somebody who is clueless to this sort of thing, all the abbreviations and terminlogy leave me quite confused.

Thanks
Rich

Ideally you need to write exclusively for me for at least 2 years on a 2% profit share basis

Seriously though, what do you want OUT of this? you say developing a domain, but that doesn't really do it. Are you lookign to build a site to earn revenue from affiliate sales, or from say adsense etc, or are you looking to sell your services? OR are you looking to build a portfolio site?

Gisa clue

Ha, see what I mean I really dont know what i'm doing. well I'd like to build a content site to earn revenue through affiliates. Although now you mention it I'd love to be a content writer. Is there a demand for content writers or do these article generators tick that box. I love writing, getting paid for it would be excellent, hence the degree.

Yeah, the Journo students are being advised to start soon and produce often.

You have a couple of routes, you could go with a content management system, you will get off the ground quicker but you will be slightly stymied when you have some new idea you want to try out.

You could go from the ground up, and learn some HTML which shouldn't take you too long, a good book to get a grounding in HTML is Teach Yourself HTML there is probably a later version as well. HTML is quite basic, but how you use it as a writer is very important, and it will probably mean more to you than it does to a lot of HTML developers who are often developers in other languages as well.

Once you have HTML down, you can start producing content, then perhaps look at CSS, Transcending CSS is a good read.

Once the content is pumping and you are happy with a frame work, then you could pluck up the spunk and use a template system, of which there are many, but a good solid all rounder is Perl Template Toolkit.

You are going on the right way.forum writing is the basic and you can also start with blog writing, article writing and so on.

Forum postings, blog postings are good ways. one can also opt for directory submissions and social bookmarkings also.

Thanks
