Hi!  
I am semi-new to PHP I tried to get into it off and on for a few years and this year I made that commitment. I am self-taught web designer and graphic designer, I taught myself html css and a very small amount of javascript years ago from a site called htmlgoodies I think around the age of 15 or so.

This has always been a passion of mine but I have never done it full-time. (I have been janitor for 17 years) As the age of 40 closes in every year I would really like to do this more.

I am not a know it all, I will never claim to be. I learn by doing, over and over again. I am excited I have found a helpful community some of the others I have joined will nail you to a burning house if you mess up a post or ask questions in the wrong format.

I am not sure what else to write about.

Places I have found helpful in the past have been [htmlgoodies.com](http://htmlgoodies.com) [w3scools.com](http://w3scools.com) the net ninja on youtube and now this site, I look forward to talking meeting the rest of the community.
