You say it's a hobby? If it is, don't rely to much on the outcome, just practice and it'll work out. I have been working on my site for 2 years. I am a craftsman, not making much but it's my hobby. My site still hasn't made me a single penny, euro, doller...etc, but it's my hobby too, and becoming one of the most interactive on the web. As its my hobby that's where I find my motivation. I realise I, compared to alot of webmasters, am still in the early learning process, and getting through a ban is one of those things that happens to make you make your site work better, and get ranked fairly.

Once you've worked through a ban, you have just gained another level in your programming skills.

A tip is to make it work with js off, and everything visible, no spam. Then get it validated.

Just keep working at it, as it is a hobby.
And remember how much it would cost to get someone else to program it, and update it week by week. Think of where you will be in 2 years time....

Now if you earn more than a programmer, I suggest you hire help.......
