Ethical Web 2.0 Traffic Training

People in my immediate circle already know this, but on February 14th at about 2:30am, my house caught fire. We think it had to do with the wood furnace because the fire started there, but no final assessment has been done to date.

A lot of people email me asking how to build a Web 2.0 site from the ground up. (Answers vary based on target market, site mandates, etc.)
