Well ive watched loads of tutorials, ive got O'REILLY's Learning PHP and MySQL 2nd Edition book and still, i don't know where to start with coding, i know basics of PHP and mySQL and Object Oriented Programming, but i don't have a clue what to code. I was thinking about coding a text based game but i didnt know where to start, then i started coding a blog which was very basic with a login / register / new blog / edit blog / update blog features it was pretty basic, the layout and design was awfull as im no good at designing or laying out. I just dont know where to start or what to start with.
Maybe you guys can point me in the right direction, what did you guys first code when you was ameaturs like me! maybe some can suggest something for me to code.
Thanks alot

Continue on with your blog system. Have you included a login page? You could track visitors by ip, sort blog posts by month, allow visitors to comment, allow the author to delete comments, add bbcode to the posts, add rss feed, display online visitors, add a contact form to allow visitors to contact the author, create a registration script to allow visitors to sign up and create their own blogs, etc.

Puzzle solvers are always a good programming exercise, like a program to solve a number game like Sudoku or a word game like Wheel of Fortune.
You could write a calendar, then add the ability to track events.
Data collection and statistical analysis could be interesting. Write a graphing program. Or see if you can guess the numbers for the next lottery drawing.

How would i display the users blogs, so far i have this but it doesnt look nice it looks messy and unprofessional..
Code: Select all
<div id="content" align="center">
<?php
$get_info = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM blog WHERE uid = '$uid'");
while($info = mysql_fetch_array($get_info)) {
echo "<table>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td> <h2>" .$info['author']. "</h2></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td> <h3>" .$info['title']. "</h3></td>";
}
?>
</div>
Thanks
