I have been taught the best way to learn something is to copy from another website. The challenges i faced made me a better programming. For example when receiving data back from the database i had to use .split method to cut out any whist spaces. I did not know that before creating this website. There were so many frustrating moments however i continued for 2 months.
Disclaimer:
I do not intend to compete with steemit and my website is NOT on the blockchain. Its on a godaddy server. pretty boring stuff.
