This site needs a newbie section!!! 02/18/2004 03:48 AM

Hi all. I'm noticing a lot of "newbie" questions. This is a great site with a lot of potential to be very informing. I just feel that a little more organization and basic info is needed. I thoroughly enjoy visiting and look forward to learning more from you all.

Help a newbie bl0gger out


Help a newbie bl0gger out 03/14/2005 04:23 PM

A few days ago, I got a letter from a reader named Randy:

I am father to a 2 1/2 yr old girl with her second cancer who is going for a bone marrow transplant in late March. I have just started to think about fundraising when I was forwarded your interview in Wired and it got me thinking that perhaps I could use the same approach to raise money for Julia.

I have been keeping a blog since she was diagnosed the 2nd time on 12/30/04. Although I am a web architect, I know next to nothing about blogs and am spending all my time researching cancer. Thus, the format, graphics, and look and feel have been completely neglected -- the main focus has been the content in order to -- keep a record for family, journal for Julia for when she is older, help me philosophize about life and put her illness into perspective, etc.

I was hoping you could give me some tips on getting started -- some questions that come to mind:

- Finding an ISP that allows you access to the servers (I am currently hosted at Geocities and would have to upgrade just to get PHP and MySQL).

- How to set up processing for micropayments? (We have a fundraising idea around Julia's treatment and progress which would require periodic debit from an account.)

- Tips for building traffic.

- Links to 1) sites that help a blogger, 2) sites to blogs you would consider top-notch, anything else you feel is useful

I know I could find this stuff myself, but I was hoping that you could jump me up the learning curve so that I could get Jules' site up and running.

I emailed him some recommendations but I figured you folks would have some good advice as well. Are there alternatives to PayPal for donations? Tips and sites for beginning bloggers would be helpful as well...Google was only moderately helpful and most links I found skew towards business uses of blogs. Try and keep the duplicate information to a minimum and when in doubt, be more verbose rather than less..."Bitpass is good for micropayments because..." rather than "Try Bitpass". Alright, go.


Newbie Network Changes Name


Newbie Network Changes Name 06/05/2002 07:50 AM
Congratulations to Jason Lotito for changing http://newbienetwork.net/ to http://phpcomplete.com/ . Jason runs an excellent site with lots of interesting tutorials. I understand the original name of the web site was too limiting, and I hope that PHP Complete will lead to new things for Jason.

I would also like to point out that many other web sites publish tutorials on PHP. Unlike Jason's web site these articles are often of uneven quality. One recent one I saw on a site that shall remain unnamed was about "Portable PHP", but it never mentioned problems with magic quotes, differences between Windows and Unix versions of PHP, and many other important issues. That is why I sometimes do not link to these articles. Jason is never like that and always works hard on his web site. Keep up the good work!
