Hey everyone....i've been lurking on this site for 2 days only. The wealth of information and is just unbelievable. I honestly don't know where to start. I, by no means, consider myself an newbie but this site deals a serious blow to my ego.

Info from SEO, to CSS layout and design, and backend programming.....*drools* I could live here and do nothing but read for 24x7 and I don't think I would get through all the info for at least a few months.

Sorry if this a little pointless, but just so this isn't just a nef, as far as all this information goes here, how would you say is the best way to digest this information the most efficent way possible? I want to know it all. :)

Thanks again. :P

Hi Placer, welcome to the board, and thanks for the kind words!
Basically I think there are two approaches
- read what you need, i.e. going along with your immediate interests. Example: Trying to make a site spiderfriendly? Look at the Tech forum and start a discussion
- going for the basics, i.e. what is the basics of good rankings in Google, or how can I get a grip on CSS. In that case the library at the top of each forum index page is an excellent start.

Hope you'll enjoy your membership here!
