"I'm not interested in helping spammers succeed but those who may have done something and not known any better." - an interview with JLH
JLH, get yourself a Nike sticker and slap it on your computer, get yourself an idea for something you want to code, ask "Professor Google" about anything you think you need to know but don't and then "Just do it". Coding is not all that hard other than figuring out the syntax, for which Professor Google is great for finding answers to. The real hard part is coming up with something you want the coding to do.
"the real hard part is coming up with something you want the coding to do."
OH BOY, then I'm in trouble because I have dozens of wonderful ideas all written up and waiting for me to learn to develop, usually I buy the domain to go with it as well.

Well, a very rough translation of what my father used to say might be applicable, "Shit or get off the pot!"
Maybe Nike's slogan is better although were my father to have used that, it would have to have included a kick in the back side to make up for in intent what it lacked in presentation. :-()
Good interview :) As for the link, consider a greasemonkey script which could easily add your URL to Google's home page, blog roll ... [ducks] Sebastian

Or, a more useful "script", one of the previous php versions allowed one to insert URLs into the output of the phpinfo() function through the parameter list used to call phpinfo().
