Activity Time

Currently on my work placement at Crandon. Thinking about ways to change their current website. Made me realise that I've got to start really getting into webby stuff. Learning special web skills and creating a better web presence for myself, that means coming back to regular blogging. Maybe starting a new one or continuing this one.
Whatever it should be strong. I should be looked to as someone powerful in this respect if I want to go about selling my skill in this area to people.
I need a website and it needs to show off my skills.
What should be my fast growing list of skills.

Some things to consider learning:

CSS in much greater depth.

Flash and ActionScript to an extreme depth. - I want to be able to make games. I should be making an interactive doodingle at least once a day.

Being a pro at MySpace etc. - part of CSS. I want to be able to know the answer every time someone asks "How do you do this?". Someone asked that about customising their MySpace page, I didn't know how. I should make mine fancy, really fancy.

General web things. How servers work. Hosting. - I should be able to say to a person. "I'll do you a website." and see it from that stage all the way to launch without them having to bother about anything, I should be able to do it all.

Other clever things that will make for better web stuffs. JavaScript, .NET, PHP, MySQL and variants of these type of things.

I can make a start on these by creating a fancy portfolio of my time at Crandon. I need to produce material for assessment anyway, I may as well make the entire report something I can use to show myself off too.
