I am very interested in building websites and I would like to know what kinds of web languages I would have to learn to make what I want to do possible. And if there are any tools that I can use that would make this easier that would be great. Okay as of right now I am planning to use
HTML
PHP
Some Forum software
and Maybe a CMS
Recommendations for the CMS and forum software would be good

Here is a list of the Features I will want to incorporate into my site I split it into different sections

Profile
1.Very customable from adding a banner at the top to customizing the color of the profile
2.Personal picks- There favorites from there uploads
3.Favorites There personal favorites from the whole site excluding theres
4.Place for policy for downloads
5.Auto subdomain for user once a account is made
6.Adminstator Controled groups all with different colors (adimns, mods, Creators, hackers,etc)
7.Journal/blog
8.Guest Book/Vistor messaging
9.PM system

Download section
On home page a nice index that shows all the catorgeries which would link to the subcatorgories

1.Next this would be the majprity of the Page it would show the latest downloads.
2.Each Download would show a thumbnail, the uploader, And any comments and views.
3.A section jump(drop down menu above downloads themselves
4.And the ability to search the download section with filters
5.Once the user clicked a catorgory it would go the catorgory page that would have everything the 6.main download page has expect it would have the latest downloads in that section.This format for downloads would continune until they got to the last subcatorgoryy
7.For each subcatorg page the featured downloads for that section.

For Downloaders
1.Ability to change how downloads appear(time, views, Downloads,etc)
2.The ability to comment and vote on downloads and to specify if there just saying good job or need help.
3.Ability to filter downloads( which games they have)

For Uploaders
1.A simle uploading sytem with customize fields and drop down menu that make uploading as simple and Possible to add game compatibilty for downloaders.

Download pages
The uploaders profile pic somewhere on the page and then The Full upload details and then at the way bottom screenshots and comments.

For Staff
Ability to promote users, demote users , ban users, and feature downloads

So basically what I am asking is what languages,softwar,etc would I need to make this all possible. I am trying to make a download site for users to download things from other users and where users can upload there own content.

Check out the logo on top of our web page, it shifts if you zoom in or out of the browser. I’m thinking it may be due to poor CSS code. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

We are using Wordpress as our CMS.

caffeinatedcontentplus.com – With Caffeinated Content for Wordpress The Future Of Blogging Is Here! “If you’ve been Struggling to Get A Highly Targeted Niche Blog Up And Running That Requires Practically Zero Percent Of Your Time AND That Can Be Easily Monetized!” http Caffeinated Content for Wordpress WP autoblog has been around for single-installations of wordpress for a while now, and does a nice job of aggregating content into blog posts from various feeds around the web, much like WP-o-Matic -which I talk about here . I like WP-o-Matic a lot because it uses simplepie parsing that does an excellent job with images and other objects, while being relatively feed agnostic -unfortunately it is not compatible with wpmu just yet. Caffeinated Content for Wordpress WP autoblog is basically an aggregate plugin that pulls feeds from ATOM, RSS, & RSS2 into a blog post (which is very similar to WP-o-Matic -which does not work just yet with wpmu). What I like about this plugin is that anyone with a blog on ELS Blogs can enable and add feeds to it. Niche Affiliate Marketing enables you to concentrate all your efforts onto those products and therefore increase your blog’s ranking in the serps to attract more targeted organic search traffic. That will, in due course equate to more sales and more money in your bank account! Niche domination all starts off with locating potential and active buyers. Never make the false move of trying to sell something that people don’t want to buy …
