Thanks to both of you for replying. Joe, since posting this i've been thinking about going this route as well. I've grabbed myself a recommended SEO book, found a turnkey site with a product already attached but that's completely editable as far as CSS and html goes. Plus, there's plenty of room to put affiliate info and ads in. Basically, it's a site i really won't care too much about but is really going to be my teacher in all of this.

Cat, i was also thinking about how juggling A LOT of sites just can't be easy. not to mention driving traffic trying to drive traffic to each one - i was thinking that there would have to be just a small handful that would end up shining in the end. i don't have a big enough budget to be placing the desired amount of cpc ads for a bunch of sites, so i'd have to pick and choose. i'm pretty confident that i've found my "baby" site (taking your advice and choosing something that i'll be passionate about) that i'll start building after i really get deep into the education. :) thanks again for all your feedback, guys. much appreciated.
