This may not be the place to ask these type of questions and if it is not then I sincerely apologize.
I was hoping I might be able to poll my more experienced peers on setting up my own website.
I am versed enough in X/HTML, PHP, Java, CSS, etc to create my own web site and have started researching SEO to aide myself in getting the site known but I am clueless as to where to even start once I have all of the code done?
What I envision currently for my website(s) is an Web Comic that I will update weekly. In addition to the page that holds the comic itself I want to have separate pages (sub-domains I guess) for a Blog related to the content of the comics, a Forum for viewers to discuss comics in general, and another page where I would like viewers to be able to submit their original comics to me that I can pick at random to display on another page to showcase other artist's work.
Aside from a few quarks I do not think I am going to have a problem coding or designing the site, but once I have everything together what do I do with it? Do I use sub-domains? If I buy a hosting package from my current registrar is it pretty dummy proof?
I currently have 2 domain names registered and have not set up a web hosting package at this time. I've also been perusing http://www.djcoffman.com/how-to-host-your-own-webcomic/ for information specific to what I want to do but would like to get advise from those more experienced than I.
Thanks in advance.
