Hey there GoldNetX, thanks ALOT for your quick response, I really appericate people responding that quickly.

Couple things:

- Checked out the two sites you made, and have some constructive critism; jalbooie's tagline has a simple grammar issue "You're new home" should be "Your new home" unless there was a tagline copyright issue, or something similar, it looks pretty sloppy to leave that obvious mispelling RIGHT at the top. I did like the HUGE fonts on the textareas though, so nice work on layout overall, and solid coding.

The other site WorkAholic is interesting, but for people not logged into Facebook (like me) strange error messages about PHP are issued. Beyond fixing those issues, I'd try to set up a much nicer-for-laymen error message, so when something you didn't expect to happen, DOES, you won't look like you were caught with your pants down. ;P An example of a easy-to-understand error mesasge would be something I tried out on my site. Try blkflm.com / anything and see what the 404 says. Or try to load up blkflm.com/images and see the 403. Rather than a boring, and hard to understand (for non-coders and non-technical people) I choose a silly, and simple to get message to greet the eyes of the unfortante.

I really applogize for all the preaching, and I have VERY little web-expirence to back up my help, but I saw some potiental with your work, and wanted to try to help you improve it

Now, moving on the my website (the topic at hand :P)

When I have a chance to work on it later on, what you mentioned is an AMAZINGLY GOOD but SIMPLE way of showing what I want to get, and for some INSANE reason I never even THOUGHT of it.

I can just go into Photoshop, draw some arrows and descriptions of how I want things to look on the page, and clearly explain what I'm trying to do. I REALLY appericate the great idea, cause that will make things SO much easier for a more design-orriented person like myself. So I will be SURE to do that and post it here for additional help.

---I always FORGET how awesome this place is, with amazingly-easy Photoshop tutorials, coding help...just wow---

Also, with the PHP database stuff, MySQL would be fine, but I just have NO REMOTE IDEA how to use it. :P So any assistance with that would be a huge help as well.

Agian man, thanks ALOT for the quick and well-informed response. I hope to use your help in the future, and perhaps have you use some of mine.
