Anyone know where I can get a cartoon done?
I've got a French chum needs a cartoon drawing but she's no idea where to go. I thought you lovely B3tans might have an idea. Or if you have a cartoony bent yourself, fancy having a 10 minute scribble? (Apols for blatant solicitation).

Given that you want to create a review site, I still think that wordpress is the way to go.
You can attach any kind of data to any kind of content, such as "Manufacturer", "Score", "rules"...etc. And then filter/sort/display it on those basis.

I just wanted something that looked a little more... well like a website really.
Otherwise I might as well just post reviews on here.

But the problem is that the 'simple' way of doing things is too simple.
am I really going to have to learn a whole language in order to do anything?
(, Thu 15 Sep 2011, 16:02, archived)
I pick things up pretty quickly but I just remember playing around with simple website designer stuff years ago and you could do loads with them.
but wordpress seems too restrictive if you have no programming knowledge.
(, Thu 15 Sep 2011, 16:04, archived)
What do you mean by 'too simple' ? What objective are you trying to do that it can't?
And yes, you're going to have to learn sevrel languages to make a website.

Cool, make sure when you turn it into a comercial venture that the data is easerly portable or it'll cost you a fortune in the long run.
I still think Wordpress is the best option for you, they're fantastic bases for review sites.

thank you very very much for that, best themes I've seen for what I want.
I think I must've done about 20-30 google searches and found 50-60 websites listing themes but nothing even close to what I wanted.
(, Thu 15 Sep 2011, 16:51, archived)
No probs =)
The advantage of Wordpress is that there are so many people who work on it, like, bigger than any other code project (and deffo website code project) I can think of... that people have adapted it to do more or less anything. Pretty much anything you can think of is already done on it, if you want people to use facebook to leave comments, twitter to get updated when you post....etc. pretty much _anything_ that's possible, is already done for little or no money.

cool, yeah there are definately big advantages to using "blog" type websites I know that.

I just don't understand the point of using something else if I'm going to be (pretty much) writing it all myself anyway.
I can't exactly learn from picking bits out here and there and not knowing what I'm doing, I'll have to learn by starting from scratch.
(, Thu 15 Sep 2011, 16:46, archived)
All I have as yet worked out is that word press will let me choose a 'theme' pre-determined by someone else
and you can then change text and move things on the page.
and without learning a little bit of code, that's it

You can make wordpress look and run however you want, but you're going to have to learn code to do it, quite a few bits of code... or get/pay someone you know to do so.
