General Business: Internet business

Ive seen a lot of people set up great websites that run their businesses. Although I am somewhat technologically sound, this is not an area where I know much about. Does anybody know where I can learn about the internet business process (the in's and out's)? I love learning about new stuff, just would like to have more arrows in my quiver!

GREAT website by the way haha... Where did you learn how to setup a website (structure, advertisement...etc). I have no clue where to start or how to set one up.

Trial and error - been doing it since I was 12. When you have guys like Travis and Darius on your squad, shit gets done right :)

The best way to learn is to load your RSS reader up with blogs like this one. Check out www.sitepoint.com to learn about site design and programming.
Important things to learn:
1. Photoshop
2. PHP
3. CSS
4. AJAXYou can pave your own way with those.

Awesome. Thanks for the advice.

I agree, trial and error has worked for me as well.
Other than studying IT or web development in college, there isn't a tried and true method of learning the ins and outs of the process, other than trying it for yourself.
There are plenty of resources/blogs out there that range from beginner to expert. I'll add a few of those when I get a chance tomorrow.
For now, there's a podcast that I plugged in a blog post a while back, that is a good starting point to learn about the web design process:
Listen to the whole series here.

I agree, YGG.com is a lovely site ;)
I admire your attitude willseo - but learning PHP, CSS, AJAX and Photoshop from scratch sounds like a very ambitious task. In a lot of ways, it may make more sense to pay someone else to develop a site for you.

Everyone has to start somewhere - I learned everything I know from scratch.

Start with html and css, they really go hand in hand and knowing html is really handy if you want to get into the web more. Then get a copy of photoshop and then google for some tutorials when you need buttons or header banners etc, they will be pretty easy to follow and will slowly teach you the essentials of what you need to know. You probably won't need php for a while, but after you have a moderate grasp of html then php is the gradual next step. Ajax can come after php, it certainly isn't essential at first but later it can be nice to make stuff quicker for your users.
You won't be coding gmail.com or yahoo.com or ygg overnight but you'll get there :) Good luck mate!

Didn't mean to sound negative. With time and commitment, I'm sure you'll get there! If you're going to take it on yourself, I agree with Ross. Start with html and css. Have fun with it - and let us know if you get stuck.
