  1. well u need HTML,CSS,PHP,Javascript
  2. well you could make a fairly powerful site using just PHP and a MySQL database, both of these are free but you're going to need a fair amount of knowledge to pull it off yourself. I suggest you either hire someone or buy a php/mysql book.
  3. For starters, you need HTML or CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). HTML is easy to learn and you can use the CSS to add the extra's website-wide by editing only 1 page instead of all pages. You can also use CSS to design the page, but that is a little harder to do. Next you need something like PhP or ASP for storing the ads, user interface, etc. Me personally, I use PhP. Your best bet for either of those would be to see which one your host supports. Again, I prefer PhP. You can also use a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) program like Frontpage or Dreamweaver, but those are usually costly and just plain old un-professional. I prefer to hand-code my pages and that way they are easier to edit, usually smaller, and can do a whole lot more. If you need more help, contact me at http://www.yuchniuk.com
  4. At the very least you NEED to know html. This should be used with some CSS. For a great tutorial website on HTML and CSS I a have added a link at the bottom of this posting. In addition to this PHP is extremely useful. It is used to dynamically generate webpages based upon a users response. It can also connect to a database which will also prove to be useful. I have also added a link for this. Please be aware that knowing HTML is the first prerequisite. Then gravitate towards PHP. Good luck in your thirst for knowledge.

  5. Do a search at Hot Scripts. http://www.hotscripts.com You'll find what you need there. Michael http://www.webmasterautomation.com
  6. Don't program it. Waaaaaay too much work. Go look at the site I will note below. I used their Forum software for some folks to do what you want. Think about it... it is free and very robust (very well written). With a touch of tweeking, It will likely do what you want. http://www.webwizguide.info/default.asp
