Great video! thanks can i ask some questions? I have downloaded xampplite and mysql will not start [-1]. what do I need to do? I do not have skype. I did install and unistall xampp previously. Also, is xampplite the same as you have downloaded?
ALSO, I am unable to get to the local host, this comes up:
Secure Connection Failed etc...
Is this because Mysql is not working?

i believe that internet applications, web constructing, is a very interesting occupation, if i had started it from your age i'd be specialist now. also search for flv tech(flash). for your website you should search and buy templates html or flash google it. its not exp, and they have done great work you could edit them after.
