Well, I feel you were a little harsh in your post, but you're not really wrong. Please forgive the garbled grammar of my original post. When I wrote it, I was writing as though/. was a forum, which I now realize it is not. I should have taken the time to proofread and rewrite before I submitted. For that I apologize.
Let me make my intentions more clear - I would like improve my web design skills, which are rudementary at best. What I wanted to know was where I should begin.
The advice I have received thus far has helped me a great deal. At present, it's not coding I need to learn, it's design. I've decided that I'm going to spend some of my christmas money to pick a few books on XHTML and CSS, and go from there. I'll save all the other stuff for when I actually need to do more than present static information. Thanks to everyone for their help!
I would just like to add that, grammar issues aside, I appreciate your answer. I am curious though about the differences between the two methods you list.
What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of.NET/SQL and PHP/MySQL?
English is my first language. Does that mean you don't apologize for being uneccessarily rude?
I will admit that I didn't give my post a thorough rereading before I submitted it, and it definitely has a rushed quality to it, but this isn't a thesis. I feel that I got my point across well enough.
Thankfully, there were a number of posters who offered helpful advice without being rude.
TACT.
It's pretty easy to learn, though it seems that few bother these days.
