I actually don't think social media is that great of a promotion tool anymore for forums (and that's just for forums, social media works for sites/blogs and businesses). I think that the fact that social media is actually one of the causes of forums dying out a bit recently is a clear indication...

The biggest problem for me, with banner advertising, is that it's not always the most effective way of marketing and promotion. And the reason why it's not effective is that very rarely will people actually spend time looking at your banner, with the majority of people that see it not even...

That's great to hear and I'm sure a lot of people will be happy to hear that you are able to help them out with various things and for free. It's very rare that you find people willing to work for free and help out fellow webmasters on the internet because everyone is just mad and crazy about...

There are actually various different things that you can do to try to prevent spambots from coming onto your site and attacking it with spam content. A method that I found very effective is actually simply just having a question and answer system. Simple questions like "What colour is a banana?"...

There are actually a lot of tutorials and websites out there that will help to teach you how to make your very own websites. Codecademy is a really good site to use and I believe I tried it out for some programming lessons a few years ago. I would definitely recommend it to you especially if you...

vpatella summed it up pretty well, to be honest. Diversifying what you can do is extremely important. I think you just cannot specialise in one area anymore because it just won't work out well in the future. What is popular and doing well now could be outdated and old the next day. By...

Like many others have informed you above, this is not possible to do with HTML. With HTML, you can build the actual site and website that you want to be the homepage when someone starts their browser. I believe you could do what you want with some Javascript although I would highly recommend...

Google or even Facebook. Google would have been an absolutely amazing site to have built especially when you consider how much it has diversified recently with so many products now being owned by Google and it not just being a search engine anymore. It would have been just out of this world to...

It depends on what the site is, of course. I think for a lot of sites, a more simplistic design can be really nice and can work well. Of course, that doesn't mean that you should go for an overly simplistic design but you should go for something that is simple, elegant but still nice to look at...

There's actually not that many websites that I visit regularly, to be honest. Most of the time, I would probably be just browsing through a few different forums, my own blog (which is about making money online) and Reddit. I don't want to include what actual forums and sites that I use other...

This is actually the first time that I have heard of it as well and it sounds quite interesting. I had a quick look and found the new Mozzila Thimble Webmaker and it seems to be good for those that are brand new to HTML and programming. Personally, I wouldn't use it because I wouldn't need to...

It depends on quite a few different factors, to be honest. In terms of starting your very own e-commerce site, you need to take into consideration that you would be required to spend a lot of time, effort and sometimes even money on things such as advertising, marketing and just the costs of...

I always tend to ask for PayPal as well because it's so easy to receive and manage your money with PayPal. Plus, the fact that PayPal offers both a buyer and seller protection makes it great as well and means you can rest assured that most likely won't encounter any problems and if you do...

I can't remember if it was either of these, to be honest, but I have tried them out in the past. It might have been AdFly although I can't remember exactly. I don't think I would ever try to use them ever again, to be honest. I just don't think that they are that great for the effort and I think...

It was the internet. I think it was with myBB actually that I started to learn because they had a template system and I really want to learn how to modify the templates and make changes that would make my forum look better. So I started looking at some tutorials and even other forums (looking at...

Yeah, I advertise my website on as many forums as I can if they allow me to do so in my signature. Most of the forums I am on actually are totally fine with it and also allow graphics in the signature which makes it easier for us to advertise our sites. But I know a few don't like sites being...

There seems to be a bit of a weird bug with the message editor when you start to write a lot. It has happened to me about twice so far, for posts where I separated my text into two paragraphs. The message editor would get really buggy and started going up and down slightly really quickly which...

When I first got into websites, forums and blogs when I was younger, I didn't have a way to pay for hosting or money to actually pay for hosting so I started off with free web hosting. My first ever host was actually 000webhosting which I was not at all happy with. The only positive thing about...

Like NickJ, a lot of sites will tend to have both good and bad reviews but a quick look will usually help you determine whether those bad reviews are really justified. That's the problem with a lot of web hosting reviews, some of them are not at all helpful because they are just either lying or...

There's nothing wrong with what you are hoping to do with your blog. No one can say that your site cannot one day be the place to go for news and interviews for people interested in video games and comics. It's not at all an easy journey but it is possible. Whether you can get there will depend...
