You guys should really check out our website that is pretty much a computer training/tutorial website if you are interested in learning anything and everything there is to know about computers.

Currently the site staff only has about 60 something computer training tutorials but we just updated the site a couple days ago so that the community can post their own tutorials on there in video form from their youtube link and also written text form.

The site is http://www.webvidtuts.com

Come check it out!

Wow, this is probably one the highest quality sites I've seen that's hosted on 000webhost.

How are you going to monetize/make money off it?

[webvidtuts]

Thanks for the compliment buddy!

After a while if we dont get a whole lot of donations then we are going to put some advertisements on it from hopefully Google Adsense but if that doesnt go well (as it usually doesnt in my case) then we will use Adbrite which does pay a decent amount, not as much as Google Adsense though.

Nice. Free site? How do you get income on this?

[webvidtuts]

Yep completely free, currently no income yet though lol

Like I said in the post above Im gonna wait and see how donations go and if they aren't good then I'm gonna put some ads on there so I can expand the site a ton more for everyone.

I think you should concentrate on improving your website as well as the security.

I managed to register username: a on your website. I inputted all fields a then i'm registered.

Improvement:
1. wysiwyg editor - I suggest using tinymce, easy to implement.
2. Pagination - this is helpful like if you reached the limit per page the pagination will set in.
3. Meta description/keywords for each articles
4. The login field on the top pane. Add a jquery or javascript to remove the value whenever you select the field.
5. 404 error pages - I inputted this uri (http://www.webvidtuts.com/textTutorial.php?tutorial=hh) and I was greeted with a blank page.

Security:
1. Registration - add a server-side variable checker. Check the following:
a. check if username is valid (small letters, no spaces [maybe?], alphanumeric characters.)
b. check if email address is valid.
c. add a minimum characters allowed for username.
d. add a minimum characters allowed for password.
e. add a minimum characters allowed for firstname and lastname.

A regex script would be great tool to use. I noticed that you have the following implemented on the register page which is good:
1. Password matcher
2. Check if username exist

Additional:
1. Keep either WWW or non-WWW. Use a htaccess code. (Source: http://support.google.com/webmasters...n&answer=44231)

I think you should use Wordpress as it will lessen the time you have to code and develop your website. I hope I helped.

Thank you for your suggestions

A lot of the things are on my list though already like security but I just havent implemented them yet because right now Im working on adding more core features to the site.

Also I do have javascript on the top login panel, which browser are you using thats not taking the words out?

Wordpress would definitely make things go a lot quicker but I'd much rather code everything by hand like i've been doing and big projects like these help me train and help sharpen my skills since with each project comes new challenges

Wow, that's a really good site! Is this hosted on 000? I imagine the limit on the number of files would cause a problem in the future.

You're welcome. I think the javascript in the header is working I think I have disabled the javascript on my browser.

You are right there and I see your passion. Yes you will learn a lot of things if you keep on developing your own website. As soon as you finished one project, you will realized that the project is outdated and obsolete because you improved on your skills then you again set on developing a new improved version in scratch.

In my case I think I ended up developing 5 cms. The first two are just stepping stone you know learning how to implement login script or printing a result in mysql, just a basic cms (my reference CMS was Elite CMS, I downloaded the free version and reverse engineer it and SiteX CMS). Then the 3rd is a blog which was infested with spam comments in that project I learned how to avoid spam and to improve editing articles. Then the 4rth project is the one I used full time as my website where I share website templates and some tutorials and in this project I think I learned how to do elegant codes, standard codes and object oriented programming and there's a lot of PHP notices that you have to hide them. Then the last project is the final which I use on my website right now which was coded with zero PHP notices. All in all 6 years and I surpassed Elite CMS but not SiteX hehe
