I had a business I had to market nationwide. Very few competitors in the field at that point.

Things have changed. Many competitors. A lot of money being invested in SEO in the niche. Glad I got a relatively early start.

Started with a WYSIWIG editor. I could recognize the code bloat and the lack of flexibility almost immediately. Couple of books and lots of surfing later I was able to create a validating page. On to PHP/MySQL.

I still consider myself a beginner. Always nice to benefit from the wisdom of those that frequent these boards.
