php vs. vBulletin

vBulletin uses PHP (and a SQL database) to run the forum. PHP is a server side language. Everything is done on the server computer and the final product is then sent to the user computer (like a DVD, there's a lot of stuff that happens, but the viewer only knows that the picture shows up on the TV). HTML is not a language, it's a markup language, basically, it's easier to use, but not as customizable. To accomplish a lot of what you see in modern web-site, visually speaking, I would suggest to learn CSS after you get the hang of HTML.

First off, how did you all start/learn your WebDesigning/Development Talents?

I started in high school. A couple of buddies of mine were in charge of maintaining the school's web-site. I started to learn from then, and then I started to get different ideas of what I wanted to do, so I researched on my own to figure out how to do it.

Secondly, are there any online, step by step, for dumbies guide for building a site and teaching you about it (html, php...) along the way? Google hasent been on much assistant, I think what Im looking for is to vauge hence why I'm posting here.

To start out, W3Schools Online is a good place. As you learn more, you can Right-Click on a web-site and View Source to see the "how they do that?!?".

First, I made my design using Photoshop. And when I'm satisfied with it, I position it using CSS.
