Hey gents, I'm hoping you can please size me up and give me some pointers. I have a background in graphic design, but I'm a total retard when it comes to programming. I don't know HTML and I'm all DERRR when SEO_Mike says "create a new MySQL database and user."

As per the thread topic, I'm a total newb to AM. I'm in the process of doing the 30DC. It doesn't seem to be very well liked over here, but their hold-your-hand approach is what I need to help me find my legs. If anyone has any suggestions for other hold-your-hand AM guides, please let me know.

I've been reading the sticky topics here and watching videos over at a4dhelp.com, and they really get me pumped. But I still find myself scratching my head at times, not understanding terms or not knowing how to do things that are very elementary to most of you.

I would love to jump in head first, wallet open. Like a lot of people, I learn best by doing and at this point I'm really tempted to try SEO_Mike's Auction2Post tutorial (even though I don't understand everything). But from what I've been reading I wonder if I should just take a step back from all of this and learn some basic HTML, PHP, and other valuable gibberish. I'm kind of hoping that I can just pick up on coding as needed as I go along. Any advice?

PS - Was there a continuation to the Get Started videos posted on a4dhelp.com?
 


Good To Have You Aboard Gent!

Seriously though, you seem like a fag. GTFO.

seriously dude - you do well to read some rules and stickies yourself. This is the newb section. He posted a newb thread in the newb section so why don't you get the fuck off - see I spelled it out for you.

And dickrolling in your sig... come on.
 
People dislike 30DC cause it seems like it's just some hack pimping his own products and taking advantage of new people, much like self-proclaimed "gurus" on other forums. As for databases and users, familiarize yourself with wordpress and cpanel, which comes with most basic hosting packages, and once you've set up some blogs a couple times it will be really simple.

I started to mess around with the MySQL features in CPanel and realized how simple those instructions really were. Awesome. :)
