Photoshop/Image-Use
After experimenting some with WordPress themes I have seen that having good images is going to be key to making a good website. I've already had some experience with Photoshop and my mom has literally thousands of stock photos she uses for her items. I think with using some filters I can make nice banners. I already have a logo in mind!

WordPress Themes
After spending some more time trying to learn programming I think I've decided that using WordPress themes to build my website will be MUCH easier. Installing them isn't difficult and they look extremely professional. My friend off reddit designed this website:
http://fallrivertint.com/
in under 5 days which is something you could never do if you built it off a HTML/PHP base.

New Reddit Friend
While I was on Reddit (on a completely unrelated activity) I ran into another kid my age who makes quite a bit of money developing websites for small businesses in his area and we Skyped for some time and he gave me a lot of advice as to how to go about developing and said I should be able to finish the website a LOT easier with extremely limited HTML use if I use Wordpress themes, I'm going to go try to learn how to use WordPress themes!

I spent some time earlier today on the following course:
http://www.ed2go.com/online-courses/css-and-xhtml-introduction?tab=detail
And I've made my first HTML script and learned the basic elements in HTML.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body></html>
Its the most basic script and all it does is make the page say "My First Heading/My First paragraph" but its progress!

Tutorials I've found
With the help of my friends on Reddit and other forums I have decided to use WordPress for sure (not in blog form, but hosted on a website my dad will help me set up). I've also found tons of tutorials to help me learn how to build the website itself:

After consulting with my dad I have decided that the best course of action for making my website will be using WordPress and elements of HTML
in order to install an appropriate theme. Using the help from the websites above I plan on first experimenting with the stuff I learn and then using it on my website.

Making a website for my mom
As soon as summer started my mom started nagging me to make a website that would showcase her eBay store which sold exotic items (like belly dance belts) from India. I thought this would be a waste of time until I remembered that I had to start work on my MYP Personal Project this summer. Building this website for my mom would be the perfect SMART goal. Its been two days since then and I have started talking to my mom and trying to visualize what she had in mind. She wants a basic website that would have a nice homepage that attracted customers, had a contact form, along with tabs on the top, along with a couple other things. I was able to streamline these requirements to three basic ones:
- Must be aesthetically pleasing
- Must be easy to navigate
- Must include a contact form
