I visit Google Trends when I'm having trouble thinking of an idea for a new blog post. A quick look at what is trending is usually all I need to get started, then I just sprinkle a few of those words into a new post that fits my main subject, and Bam - blog post!
Thanks for your input Dean. I tried working with that too, and also gave it. It is comforting to know I am not the only one who had issues with that piece of code.
I recommend WordPress. It has the market share of websites now, so you know there is a huge supply of potential clients. Pick a niche - if you like gaming, develop themes specifically for gamers and target that market. While working on themes, you will also pick up a little knowledge on php.

I purchased a jar of Cyber Clean keyboard cleaner to take care of my dirty keyboard. It's great for picking up the crumbs that work themselves in between the keys.
I have a WordPress site and a phpBB forum that aren't integrated. The header and footer of the website have been copied into the phpBB theme. Does anyone know of a WordPress integration plugin that actually works? I have tried a few, but have been unsuccessful so far. I don't need to integrate...
