    This is not cool. It was a website that would benefit the reefing community. I guess you all will just have to live without it :(

    Pm me what kind of website your looking to build and I might help you get it up and going for free. It's a but of a hobby for me especially if it's something to do with the industry.

    HEy I was doing some of my own research. Someone suggested using a program called wordpress. Anyone have experience with wordpress? Would that be a good starter program?

    It depends if you want to use preinstalled scripts that are on your hosted server and what languages your server is set out to read ie HTML CSS java and many more check out quackit.com

    Web Design isn't programming. If it doesn't compile, it isn't programming.

    I use Angelfire.
    I started by picking a template and adding the pictures and text to get the basics.
    After that, I would find a website with something I wanted to do also, click view source, and then copy the needed parts to put on my site in the text portion of the template, changing the originall content to my own content.
    I've added music to some pages and extra pictures to most.
    It's definitely not a "professional" looking site but it accomplishes what I was looking for at the time. Check the Ray's Reef in the signature.

    I hope I'm not saying too much, but after chatting briefly with him, I can say he needs something more interactive than what a template based design will give. It was more than I could help with, but maybe someone else here know the more advanced scripts.
