So I'm looking for an easy but powerful website tool or something. Hell, I don't even know what I'm looking for... all I know is now with this new host I can use PHP, Perl, CGI, python, cron, ssi, curl, gd... I don't even know what 90% of that **** is but it sounds good and now I want a more powerful website instead of my photoshop image frame website lol. If anyone can give me some ideas or suggestions, I'd appreciate it. I just want somewhere I can find some good tools to make the site myself using some of these more advanced things and just have an all around better website.
