As mention the number one set up for a self hosted blog is wordpress.org. This is a FREE script you download and then upload to your server/site. Once uploaded you will need to create a msql database for your blog.

These are also know as content management systems as you mange the content from within a admin section. All you do is write the text then publish every thing else is done through the script.

So the answer to your question is they use a database to run the blog. Hosting your own blog has it’s advantages, you can write what ever you want. You are also not subject to the TOS you get if you use one of those hosted blogs ie wordpress.com or blogger.

Hope this of some help,

I hear that they came out with wordpress and you don’t need any coding knowledge to make the site.

I’m asking this question as an exagerration kinda, I’m studying to be an interactive designer and it is a bit worrisome. So I’m learning how to use this also.

While wordpress is nice fundamentally, you may find that you want to add some feature that the system doesn’t already contain. Possibly you need it customized for your business, you’ll still need a designer/developer to implement a redesign and add new code. And then there are just those people who like to hard-code everything themselves and have total control over what’s going on in the background. In the end, wordpress is not a fix-it for every project, and is possibly even overkill for some.

is a web developer a millionaire or billionaire,in other words can a web developer easily afford a new Rolls Royce phantom 2009(can a web developer have $500k has a mare pocket cash)
if no which set of people can (by careers/occupations and earnings).

if possible which set of people earn nothing less than $1m per month/ $1b per year

I’m a web developer and I make $1M a month. But that’s not the same as $1B per year.

Currently I know the following intermediate to expert level: Photoshop, Illustrator, Maya, Dreamweaver, Flash, CSS, Java, HTML, little PHP, After Effects, and Encore.

Please list the programs that I need to learn for designing and another for web developing, thanks.

Well you can do it using the programs you’ve got (plus an FTP program obv). I am a web developer and designer and I use:

Photoshop, notepad++ and filezilla. That’s it. I also use flash a bit.

The languages I know (fluently):
(X)HTML, PHP, Javascript, CSS, SQL

I also know VB, C, C++ and Java but these aren’t really used for websites.

iTunes tends to help a bit as well

Considering that you know how to program from scratch , I wonder if DW is use in big companies to develop websites?

I use it….it’s still chock full of features, and yeah, I generally code everything by hand, because I know what it will do.

I know a lot of developers who use it (again, they usually do everything by hand in it), although I also know a bunch who don’t go too far beyond Notepad++. You use what you’re comfortable with, in the end.

Im getting ready to set up a web-site (details withheld from here), and Im looking for help setting it up. The situtation would be on a volunteer basis until members start to sign up, then payment for services would begin. Where would I be able to find help?

You could try rentacoder.com or getacoder.com. If you have a university nearby, you could contact their CIS department and see if you can find a student who wants to get a jump start on his or her resume.

you take into account that they exchange codes,actionscript,web templates,dynamic site with project manager application and test enviroment and how do all these work to help a situation like this?

Set up a Subversion repository and provide access only via SSH tunnels.

It all depends on the level of editing the website will require. Social utilities websites such as myspace, facebook … requires a lot of it and if your idea is to have a website like that then a team of dedicated and qualified technicians is what you need. but for a forum like website once the site is done with a good content management system anyone can edit it.
