    Welcome to Burgerman's Website Tutorials #1
    In this tutorial we will be learning about the basics of running a home website

    1. You need to decide on a website name
    2. What is the website about?
    3. Design a logo or catch phrase
    4. PHP or HTML?
    5. Forums or No Forums?
    6. Layout Plan * How many pages, What Pages,*
    7. Installing your Website
    8. How do people connect?

    8 easy steps

    1.
    Decide on a catchy name nothing like my website or dans page
    something creative, like maybe get two words and make one or make your own word up that means something but also sounds half decent.

    2.
    Decide what your website is going to be about
    Hi everyone go to my website www.danspage.com it has an index.html :O i feel special.
    This sort of stuff will tell people. "I am to busy with other things to care about the website therefore it is a default layout*
    Think of something like
    "Hi im dan and this is my page, over the past few days i have spent several hours working on my website and i wanted to make it look good, there is a few links for now until i get to updating, I hope you enjoy it."

    3.
    Logo - can be anything made in photoshop with the website name in it.
    e.g.
    or if you aren't any good with photoshop or paint or just cant be fu**ed simply create a nice catch phrase.
    e.g. www.danspage.com - where all about dan happens *not that catchy**** what about
    e.g. www.aeroplanejelly.com - i like aeroplane jelly, aeroplane jelly for me etc.
    but dont start a song whatever you do.=]

    4.
    PHP or HTML
    If you decide to go with PHP you will need to install PHP the latest version along with a few other things but we will get to that later.
    PHP is a different code to HTML not much different but it is in a way.
    HTML is a noobs code designed in notepad for the people who think they are 1337 because they can make a website using nothing but notepad.

    5.
    Forums or No Forums
    Don't be stupid.
    Don't even answer this question because you have to have a forums or a message board or something otherwise.. say bye bye to your population.
    Even your mother wouldn't want to visit your site.
    Forums include
    Vbulletin - Costs Money *looks better*
    SMF - Free and looks rather decent to be honest
    PHPBB - Up to date a bit, not as good as vbulletin. Free also comes in a range of versions to suit your needs.
    They are the only forums you should be looking at. nothing else
    unless... you have issues or something.

    6.
    How many pages is your website going to have?
    Well if you have your website as HTML and you made it in Notepad*1337* then you will have probably 1-10 because your nub. but for most probably 3 or 4
    However if you use PHP and install a forums then you are guaranteed a massive amount of pages on your website and ones that you can create without having to go to the trouble of opening notepad*1337* and scrolling through to find codes and stuff *boring*.

    7.
    Installation - Obviously a hard roll
    Appserv people
    one word download it *maybe 2*
    install it.
    your new directory is C:\Appserv or whatever your local disc drive is named under
    you will install your forums under C:\Appserv\www\ *insert forum name here*
    make sure you read readme files that is what they are there for.
    Don't come back to me and say i get this error when i make my database etc. its easy and simple
    enjoy

    8.
    Dyndns your new favourite website *maybe second to auorin=]* lol
    Choose a sub domain. Enter your IP and then type your IP into your address bar in either IE or Firefox and Voila your done.
    Portforwarding - Annoying, you will figure this out yourself
