As far as types of websites is concerned? I thought it might be a good idea to get to know what everyone's strengths are - it may help us help each other, and maybe even know who we can go to directly for help.
I think my strength is in community management/design. I've run a number of community-based sites (different types of communities, not all forums), all successful for their time. I'd be happy to help advise people on community/stickiness features for their sites.

I wish I knew flash too. Making my own flash games would be ace, and get me alot more traffic... I think my expertise is making a large profit per visitors of entertainment sites. My MSN site brings in about 5 cents per visitor.

Chris - if you ever decide to hire someone to do it, checkout www.mixart.com. I've not been in touch with him for a couple of years, but knew him way back in 96 and onwards via IRC. He's a great flash designer, and has also done some neat games. Used to design for MSN in Australia, and freelanced his way around the world.

Area of expertise? I don't think I've got one!
I seem to just be average at a lot of things instead
Don't you just love free internet games ?
Regarding Flash, I started to learn it a few years ago but eventually determined that learning illustration was the hardest part. Flash is just another program, but it was my sister that got the creative genes.
A Flash alternative is Swish:

It used to be much simpler and easier to learn, but now they've added so many features I'm not sure.
I used to use swish alot. There homepage links to google... Strange...
I am pretty average all around to I guess. I know my way arounf Photoshop though!

I really need a neater signature... Like Sean's...
Think of a style. I thought of a barbers shop spinning thing, you know what I mean, like the one in this picture: http://www.artsmia.org/ceramics/barb...mages/shop.gif , but with different colours...
It's interesting to watch your sig update - Go on MSN Please - I've got some suggestions
I like to think that I'm good at content organization, IE: knowing what kind of navigation is both practical and elegant, organizing things in a user-friendly way, and just have a strong feel of what kinds of colors and layouts work in various contexts.
Other than that, I'm pretty strong with PHP.
Wish I were a tad stronger with graphics.
Is there anybody here that can program php managed systems that work at a cheap cost? I am looking for a cheap coder that is willing to take on new projects...
I can depending upon the complexity of the project.
