I have discovered that I am getting old! I love the idea of being an Adult Webmaster. I understand that it is not an easy process or a cheap one, I understand that you have to continuously keep yourself informed and updated on the newest technologies and business practices, but...
I will be damned if I can keep up with everything and learn everything that I need to be successful, especially when it comes to "coding"!
I purchased LinkX, TGPX and a template for TGPX. After almost two weeks of trying to figure out the coding, I said fuck it!
I have no formal education when it comes to HTML or coding and quite frankly anyone who can do this stuff gets much praise.
I have taught myself HTML, at least enough to build sites that look really good, I taught myself how to use a graphics program (XARA is the bomb!) and can create great graphics, I even taught myself enough to be able to setup, configure and customize CMS sites like Wordpress and Joomla, but now I can't wrap my head around LinkX or TGPX.
I learn visually. I'm an artist so I need to be able to touch and see what I am creating. Numbers and words on a computer screen look like a Rorschach test to me.
I think I will do things the old fashioned way, like The Hun, his site is done manually and quite frankly it's not very attractive, but it's productive.
I have burned my paid copies of LinkX, TGPX, VidiScript and several templates onto a disk. When I become successful I will pay someone to teach me (as they actually do the work) how to code these things.
I know I'm setting myself up for some extra heavy duty work, but I want and need to be successful at this and if that is what it takes...I will.
Just my two cents worth of grumbling. Thank You.
