(If I had to write everything myself...it could take a while)
Which, in turn, would give you a great appreciation of what it takes to write for someone else. PHPComplete didn't happen overnight, and it didn't happen just because I asked for help from everyone else.
Many people have starte PHP websites with the idea that they can get other authors to do the work for them. It simply doesn't happen that way.
You need to put forth the effort. Asking for help and not even providing a web address isn't going to get you far. Asking for help, and then giving an excuse as to why you yourself aren't putting the effort into your site isn't going to look good.
Don't take this as me telling you NOT to create a website. By all means, build one, build one better than PHPComplete! I would love to have another site to go to where I can read articles. I never discourage other's from doing what I do.
But I will tell you when you are barking up the wrong tree.
The website is yours, and that means its yours too build. It takes time to build a website and have it become popular (unless you have money for marketing, and then, even still...) and active.
Yours is not the first post like this we have gotten, and I would bet it won't be the last. I am simply telling you that from someone who is doing what many people want to do, you can't start off on the wrong foot.
Build a website not because you want to get visitors - it won't happen. Build a website because you want to build a website. And then build it, and work it. As time goes on, it will evolve on it's own. At a sane pace, and then one day, you will have a constant stream of businesses wanting to advertise with you, and you will drown in all the extra work this "hobby" has become, and yet, you won't make money from it.
But it's fun. So start off small, and if you can handle little or no feedback, keep working it. Eventually, you will get too much feedback.
