Website - My First

Curiosity & Amazement, that two reasons inspired me to make my first website.

After then I started reading forums, blogs, articles and almost anything that will help me start creating my website. following are the topics:

1. Website standards and protocols - HTML, XHTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript are the most common and basic standards and programming I am trying to learn.

2. Website design an design tool - Dreamweaver & Frontpage are my top consideration, after serveral testing I then decided to concentrate using Dreamweaver. For me DW is an "easy to learn" WYSIWUG (WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet) tool.

3. Content Management System - Here I consider Joomla, I guess I don't need to tell more about it. Its the best. Joomla components and joomla add-ons are superb if you know where to get it. Then I came across this very nice website http://www.joomlatag.com/. Their idea is "point and click - Easy InstallerEasy Installer your joomla components. I must say that they've done a great job on this.

4. Web hosting and its different packages - Finally, who is hosting my website. My eyes is limited to godaddy and hostgator.

With my dreamweaver the project is now 80% complete within 1 month. I guess this is fair enough for a beginner like me that I have to stop and read for all "tags", "div"," buttons" to be included in my site.

I am posting my website here upon completion.
