Hello!
I'm not a small business owner, nor am I expecting to be one in the near future, so what brings me here?
I'm a recent college graduate with a degree in Computer Science and Math and a few years in the Armed Services under my belt, and I have a small background in networking (some servers, switches, routers, email, etc.). Apparently I impressed my department's faculty enough that I was just hired as a lecturer for Computer Science at my old university. (yay, a job!) And so, I've been assigned to teach a few courses that unfortunately, I've never taken. This is fine for some of my classes, since they gave me enough material to work with that I can figure it out, but there's this one sticky course: CS 300 - "Web Site Management".
It's like this course is half-developed. There is no textbook - my students will be getting 3-ring binders and a lot of handouts from me. It's outdated - the slides and diagrams tell students that normally you use a hub (not a switch) to connect end devices to the network. And the saddest part is that in the department, I'm the one who knows the most about the stuff this course is supposed to cover (and I'm still going through a crash course in CSS and Javascript for another course that I'm teaching). I don't know enough about web site management to even know what topics are important enough to cover.
So that's why I'm here. :) I want to read what you guys have to say as you are actively trying to set up real web sites for real businesses (or just for fun) with real goals in mind. I want to see what kinds of choices you have to make about how you implement a web server and apply security measures to it and get it noticed by the big search engines and whether you choose to use Drupal or Joomla or to make something up on your own. I'm here to learn very quickly (and hopefully be able to ask a bunch of questions too without being too obnoxious).
