I'm making a website, and I am hoping to consolidate my ebay, myspace, facebook, as well as some other personal information. I want it so that it will display my friends from both myspace and facebook, as well as a consolidated comment area.
Im assuming u would use forms to do this, but the main thing i want, is when u go to either my myspace, or my facebook, it redirects u to my new homepage.
I have a decent understanding of CSS and HTML, but i dont know any java and other slightly more complicated codes. I dont know if this would be a good time to learn them. And from what ive read the best way to do this is to stick redirct{myurl} somewhere on my page (something im not familiar with, and i highly doubt myspace would utilize this).
Im being pretty vague because my domain isnt hosted yet. If i cant do any of these things, it seems kindof pointless to even make the site. Im just sick of how crappily coded myspace is, such that i can barely manipulate it. I MEAN THE TABLES ARENT EVEN ALIGNED ITS STUPID. I hate that people use it, and its constantly compromised. I would rather just stop using myspace altogether, but so many of my friends are on it, I dont really have a choice.
Currently, i have the basic page layout scripted for my homepage, but i thought before i got to into it, i would run it by some people who have a better understanding of stuff like this. Im using aptana IDE which seems to work very well for simple html and css, but i am aware that it has tremendous potential for java and ajax and alot of stuff i dont really grasp. However, web development is something im really interested in, so if this is very daunting im not afraid to take on some of this so that i can learn as much as possible.
MY BEST EXPLANATION OF WHAT I WANT:
- a single page that consolidates all of my friends from both facebook and myspace (two seperate lists on one page would also work, or i could just manually put in links, but i was hoping that as my friends changed their default pic, it would be updated on my site as well.)
- a place where people could add comments. (this seems more feasable, but if i could somehow connect it facebook and myspace, that would be nice)
- my current items for sale on ebay, as well as my feedback and other things like this (would really like it if this was updated via ebay, but if i would have to manually do it i could settle for that, but it might be more hassle than it is worth. I've seen people who list their items on a website and it redirects them to ebay once they purchase the itemmm, so i know this is at least possible)
- something i didnt talk about before; I also have a lawn care, auto detailing, computer repair, and just w/e needs done business. I would like to create a calendar and appointment system, so that people going to that section of my site could sign up for a time/job/whatever it applies to. After the information is sent i would get a confirmation email, and the appointment would be listed on a calendar. (again this seems like it would involve some complex back-end code that i dont understand)
Any help is greatly appreciated, and its been along time since ive been to these forums! good to be back!
Thanks,
Matt
