nothing is wrong - what are you scared of?
thought i'd come here first to ask if any one is up for helping me create a website for my photography and personal projects.

I have no idea about how to do anything in regard to these things. I got a domain name.. thats about it so far. I am going to be too busy to try and try to wrap my head around everything that would go into this by myself.

I could probably manage to pay to have this done and for keeping it up, if anyone here is seriously up for it!

i suggest ciew as the publishing system

if you point your domain name at ciew.org, i'll set it up for you so that you can test it

:P

i could help. i'm sure dp could as well. sketch out what you want--individual page designs, how you want visitors to navigate through the site, etc.

then once you have more figured out, post it up!

OK

I'd like to get things started with making a website. Once again, I have no idea what I need to do to get it all up and running. I've got a domain name purchased and just a basic outline of what I would like to have included in the contents.

I would like to know what I need to do next, I suppose :) I assume I need a place to host the website, and to start sketching out the basic layouts.

I think you should start with content, i.e., what do you want to put on the website?

I. vita
-bio
-contact
-phone
-e-mail
-flickr
II. rock balancing
-info
-photos
III. photography portfolio
-travel
-toy camera
-wedding(when i have stuff)
IV. journal
-blog
-photo/writing

May split weddings into a separate category and lump all wedding info together (pricing, gallery, etc..)

my goal is simplicity and ease of navigation and readability. I suck at designing things so i would need help with that

i would talk to dc and see if he'd be willing to host your site. i could, but the setup might not be as friendly or reliable for your purposes.

i could set up a ciew wiki for you. you can edit it from the web, or edit files on the server. check out ciew.org for the interface

yeah, i think a wiki might be great for andyp. after getting all of the content up and organized, he could have it designed to his tastes.

would the interface be more customizable? Again i have no idea how to do any of that. Also, will i be able to upload photos?
