Hi everyone,

So someone asked me what exactly I do, and like any normal human I enjoy talking about myself, so please excuse me while I indulge, and also perhaps show some interesting information?

So the first step is planning. It's not hard to design a forum. What's hardest is deciding from all those possibilities. Most of the time I choose to go for the best functionality, so clean lines, easy interface, lots of space, etc.

This is the concept art that I drew for the forum here.

So as you all can see, my drawing skills could use improvement!

Once I finish the designs, I must create a "system" that works. So I start by deciding all the information that will be used, and then I create the database. A database looks like this.

I must say Luna, I was pleasantly surprised by the design of the forum.

And if I could make a small suggestion: work out all the kinks and little things before marching onwards to the next batch of features, please?

I don't think I could stop her even if I tried, so don't worry. :)

Once the database is complete, I create the functions that will make the website "work" inside something called a library.

You're really growing on me, Swede. I'm thinking of starting up a Wet for Inquirer account, just for you...

So as you see, this is code for a login function. Each function is something that is "done". If you need to register, or login, or really anything that interacts with the database or it's data... that's me! 

P.S. To any hackers, this code is for another website, so don't bother trying to hack the forum assuming this is forum code!!

Anyway, once the library is done, I give the images, and the code to michael, and he writes the design and makes everything pretty and wonderful. He also gives me advice on how to write the code better because he's 100x better than me at it lol
