lol .. I feel so retarded doing this, but what the heck. I have a hosting on asta for like 6 months now and i havent started doing anything yet. A new poster would probably kill me for this .. lol

Any Ideas on what i should make a site on ? (gets hit by a rock) ..

I wanted to make a site for my friends in college where we could keep in touch after graduation etc, but that isnt working out. any other ideas on what i could make a site on ? (gets wacked on the head by all the mods)

Regards
Dhanesh.

Well, if you don't have any ideas, make something that you can profit from

Make a web site with bunch of useful things and then put AdSense on it

Of course, don't cheat, just let it go with the flow. Also, get a domain, so Google can rank you higher. After that just add more articles and watch the cash flow

NB: This might not work as stated here

lol .. like what ? i thought of a blog

but i guess adsense wont work for it .. i mean whats the use of adsense in a blogsite, would they even approve. I got rejected once lol .. cause i had a CMS setup and was just testing it out with a bunch of cr*p .. so they rejected me saying " it wasent ready" ..

I think i remember saying once, but here goes again .. if anyone wants to use my hosting space for test or developing purpose .. its always open .. m^e .. that was for specially for u guys at antilost as developers.

Well, you might use wikipedia software and choose a subject. That way people may also add so you won't have to do all the work. However, you will have to be careful, sometimes people abuse the phpwiki possibilities.

Then you should try making your own software like phpWki

But I think that would be uneccessary.

Just think a bit harder. There must be something people need but isn't easy to find (and is legal at the same time)

What about a multiplayer free game site ?
Most of the network playing sites are single-player sites and after one hour you need to pay.
what about designing an interesting arcade game, or word-playing game, and allowing several human people to play one against the other one ?
MSN does that whit Messenger, I think there is room for another site.

F*ing awsome, nice idea .. but as a n00b in programming and NO knowledge in Game Programming .. i'd take like months to learn and create something like this. I could do it, but it would take time. I was thinking of somthing like umm .. a gallery for PhotoShop designers, tutorials etc. but would the given B/w be sufficient for all those Hi-Res pictures and files ?

There is a great web site with free flash games that you can use on your webiste. They are not multiplayer, but it's nice to play single player too. I think it's www.freeonlinegames.com, or there is a link there. Anyway, they are about 500 - 1000 kB, so you can put quite a lot if you have #2 package.

those are some places with website ideas for both business and personal sites. Although it would be my advice to read those and come up with sumthing different and creative. That is what will get u a very successful website. But if you use one of those, just make it a good one and unique than the other similar websites like it.

Oook

Seec77 .. u mean the way i type .. like use short forms and slangs ? Yeah i know i had been warned once by a mod , so thats gone a little less since then.

But i WILL take your advise, and correct myself

Thanks

I'm glad. I thought my post might be a bit overreactive and slightly hurting, but I'm glad you took it OK. I don't have a problem with short forms and whatever, and sometimes all lower-case applications even look better to me (even though they are definately not grammatically correct), but I'm talking about how they make your site visually less appealing. I don't know. Something about the general look of the text. Maybe it's just me?

Oh boy! Can we install a blog software in our Astahost account? Oh my! I have been using a free host all this while. How do we go about that, Dhanesh?

Asta gives you the option of PHP and MySQL when you apply for a hosting. And WordPress 2.0.3 also asks for the same Specs.

Just d'load a copy of WordPress from >> HERE << and unzip to your desktop .. open the html readme file in the folder and go according to their instructions (which are pretty simple for a newbie also). And once ur blog is set up then you go searching for templates and tweaks etc .. and play around with ur site a little .. wen ur shure that u are able to do everything u need and ur all hand on with the controls of WordPress, i'd suggest you to remove ur installation and re-install it completely .. and apply the hacks and tweaks once again ... and finally BACKUP your site.

Hope this little info helps.

Dhanesh.

I'm with the very same problem: Got a host, got the knowledge, but missing the MAIN PURPOSE! What the heck will I code? Maybe I should host a web-site for lyrics, or maybe a "random image upload" site (you gotta need luck to uplaod an image, then others may rank it), well... don't know well. I were about to code a Java Soulseek client, but the protocol unofficial documentation is missing. If someone happens to have it (that one the SoleSeek writed), please, mail me ok?

And I started of my blog intending on publishing quality articles, putting Adsense code there, and then earning something out of it.
I would say, you can start some thing like that.

Try to first focus on some ideas or a handful of topics that you like. Categorize them properly as you post regularly in those topics (tagging). And then, present them to target audiences depending on the tags, and seperately.
