Need some input, just not sure on what...lol....

Since you started this with a post..

How are you on html first of all ?

Do you handcode, generate, what ?

Do you use styles at all ? And if so, inline or style sheets ?

Have you done any scripting ?

If so, what ? Javascript, php, asp... ?

I am still trying to figure out a schedule of sorts, so I will also ask, would you want to do this whole thing across one day, a couple of days, a week, a couple of weeks ?

That should be enough for now

Right, here goes...

HTML - I have a basic knowledge and have previously built very basic pages using entry level HTML commands. As far as the galleries go that I submit, I use purchased templates. This is because I would never in a month of Sundays be able to produce templates of the quality of those I'm using now. So to summarise, I'm familiar with HTML commands and what they do, I also have reference books and so on so I wouldn't be completely all at sea if asked to look something up or read up on a particular area.

Regarding styles (I'm assuming you mean CSS ?) - again I'm familiar with styles and what they do (setting a common font, font size, colour etc) so that you can alter multiple areas of an HTML page all at once without having to manually go in and enter all the tags within the code by hand. I have no practical experience of using them other than the practise exercises within one of the books I have.

Scripting is completely new to me - I've got no scripting experience whatsoever I'm afraid (God this is the worst CV I've ever written )

So now that I've admitted that I know virtually nothing about how to use a PC other than find smut on the internet, I'll give you a little time to stop weeping openly and think about a schedule Joking aside, I think it would probably be best to plan across a couple of weeks doing small segments as we go. I'd also add that one thing I have in my favour is that I do pick new stuff up quickly so I'm pretty confident that I can go from unseeded amateur to pro pretty quickly

Over to you dude !

Do you have hosting?

Yeah I have my own domain set up and galleries hosted, but the thing is I've had a lot of help from friends in getting that all set up. As you can see there are big gaps in my knowledge so I want to start from the ground up to make sure I don't miss anything.

sarettah is going to stick his head in the oven when he reads this.....

With the knowledge you've got and your own hosting I think we can make a go of this, not sure what Sarettah has in mind but I'm more than happy to lend you a hand, plus I'll be taking part as well

That's brilliant, and I really appreciate the offers for help. Whenever someone asks me about my level of ability in any subject I always assess myself very harshly.

The reason being is that I'd prefer start an exercise and have my teacher be pleasantly suprised (i.e, "When we started you said you knew nothing about this Dom, but you actually know more than you think you do") at my level of ability, than to start learning something new, f@ck it all up and have people saying "Jesus, this guy said he knew HTML and he knows bugger all !". I hope that makes sense

Just in case anyone is worried about my ability (or lack of it) though, I'd say that I started submitting galleries in Nov of last year and at the time I had no experience of working in the adult game whatsoever. In that time I've learned how to submit, where to submit to, what the different niches are, how to use Dreamweaver to add photos to templates, how to use thumbnail cropping software, how to improve and edit photos in P/shop and so on and so on. So I'm confident that if I managed to pick that little lot up then I should be able to handle getting down to the nitty gritty in scripts and so on

Good. A basic knowledge is all that's really needed I suck at page design too and I have a fucking art degree..lolol... It just has not translated over very well.

I use a bit of style pages (css) but am more likely to use a combination of html and inline styles than I am to use a style sheet. CSS can be powerful stuff, so we should probably play with it a bit. Inline style is very similar to just straight HTML so that might be easier to understand at first, but in reality style sheets and inline are both the same animal for the most part.

Cool, programming is what I know best and eventhough you could do a tgp with a lot of straight html with ssi calls, it will be more fun if we throw in a little php. Also would let us have a submission page and a little database if we want.

Confidence helps Ok, across a couple of weeks sounds like a plan to me
