This weekend i have been busy doing normal things that don't involve the computer, it's rare i ever do this because I'm either working or fancy doing a bit of coding. So the second i had finished doing the normal things i rushed to my computer and started doing the geek-ish things, things like adding a comment system to my blog.

I finally added the comment system to the blog so now anyone can post a comment and make me feel either bad or good and maybe even a little of both. The comment system is pretty bog standard from the visitors point of view so i will simply tell you about the backend stuff which is awesome too.

1. You can add a comment to any blog post i make
2. You may only comment once every 5 minutes (to stop those stupid spam-bots)
3. You MUST put something into the fields (common sense)
4. Your comment must be below 150 characters (spam-bots again)
5. Every time you make a mistake you are shown a pretty error


That doesn't say much about the backend of the site but it would be dull for me to explain every detail, lets just say it took 3 hours, a lot of coding and some serious testing.

I'm new to the whole coding area (in the last 2 years) and i find it really interesting to find new things that PHP can do, i have such a good knowledge of PHP because of some websites which i will credit for their excellence below. If you are really serious about learning to code then do it, if you can perfect your skills and prove your good enough then you will get a good job, good money and be really dull and boring but money cancels that out.

I'm not saying i earn a lot of money, in fact i earn nothing and make the majority of my money from doing paid favours, freelance design, freelance development and also being the go-to-guy for tech support. Kahn Design isn't the best place to be a developer and from my experience isn't the best place to get a high-paid job, oh well maybe one day i will break even after working their.

Some sites for you: w3schools, php.net and google
