Beginner starting up a site

Interested in creating a website. As a 1st timer, I would just like to ask for USEFUL advice and maybe some beginners guides that I should be looking at.

All help appreciated!!

Do you want to do everything by hand or are you OK using a template/CMS like WordPress?

What kind of site?

Possible to view source of an activex control/cab files?

Basically, im making a script and im trying to get my camera to reload the .jpg it produces. Sounds simple right.

So i go to my web ui but i cant see the source, instead i see that its being run on some sort of activex control. Is it possible to see the source of an activex control to see where the image is coming from?

A few years ago I registered or whatever and got an API key.

I just went to go through the process again and it costs money now??

Can I use the same API key from before on multiple sites?

You can choose a personal website and set the donation to 0.

WordPress url and SEO questions

I recently got some hosting and decided to setup a wordpress site for fun. It came with a free sub domain that I was using for awhile, but then I got a real domain and I can’t figure out how to make that one the permanent domain.

However, I can still access the site through the old subdomain and I can’t find a way to make it redirect automatically. I was reading about some .htaccess stuff, but for some reason I can’t get it to work:

Magento Hosting

Who are you bros using for hosting on Magento installs? Anyone that actually sticks out as a good provider for your typical small business startups?

I’ve used AspirationHosting myself for one site…. so far it’s ok. Not blazing fast, but I don’t know if I’ve seen a non-big-money Magento install that was.

Anyone ever use a HostGator VPS for it? Thoughts on Lightspeed/NGinx vs. Apache? Anyone experimenting with EC2 setups (have given serious consideration to this route myself).

New CMS systems

Are there any CMS systems coming out that just blow you out of the water? I’m doing some research and found that inline editing is what most new CMS’s are trying to accomplish.

Adobe Day is one of them, although it costs $100k to get your hands on it
Symfony Apostrophy is a close second, with some great addon features.

Are there any other CMS systems that seem to step out of the box for user interface easiability?

so which cms system would you use. I’m working on a drag and drop featured cms system that might make it easier to layout pages, but having trouble with the cms system and the backend database structures. Maybe i’m making this cms system too robust for a 2 month cms system system project

fed needs money bro

gotta go after those pesky ebay sellers

how do they determine what is taxable or not?

like if you’re selling a used camera or something…that’s not taxable income…

Applies to sellers receiving over $20,000 in gross payment volume AND over 200 payments

so just set up multiple paypal accounts = win?
