Thinking Of A Website That List Artist By Past Age (Not Year Born)

[Gizmo j]

He should probably also add his dictionary randomizer to this website too.

I wasn't planning on making a "website" for the random dictionary, I wanted to make a "actual" physical dictionary with paper pages.

And I wanted each individual dictionary to have a different pattern of words.


I'm not sure if I could make a e-book for the random dictionary, because in order to have each dictionary have a different pattern I think i'll have to find some way to make a massive amount of e-books instead of just a single ebook.

Pretty sure you'd only need a single copy as a proof of concept. Not like it would ever be sold.

Oh, wow, I didn't know that idea was even worse than I originally thought. It might actually be just stupid enough to be profitable.

There you go, there's your profit angle, all you need to do is learn book-binding, then you can make your useless artisanal limited-edition randomized dictionaries. Time to order a book on how to do book-binding!

WordPress doesn't have a customer service phone number, while GoDaddy has a 24hr phone service which is why I'm leaning towards GoDaddy.

I called and they said I can use any domain from any company along side with the GoDaddy Website Builder, so I might use the domain @sdifox posted.

They also confirmed that the $10 plan doesn't allow you to get paid through advertisements, so I think I'll get the $15 plan.

Isin't Wordpress just a CMS? You don't need to use a specific host to use it.

Right off their own site (not AI)

To run WordPress, it’s recommended your host supports:

• PHP version 8.3 or greater.
• MySQL version 8.0 or greater OR MariaDB version 10.6 or greater.
• HTTPS support

That’s really it. Apache or Nginx is recommended as the most robust and featureful server for running WordPress, but any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do. That said, for the smoothest experience in setting up—and running—your site, each host on the hosting page supports the above and more with no problems.

They just happen to offer hosting, but you don't have to go through them.

It it isn't written in c++ it's crap!

CookieHost is still $40/year and you can use WordPress there.

That looks like a spreadsheet.

Yeah sorry, it was pretty stupid to ask, I thought programs like Excel only did left to right, I wanted it up and down.

 

[Red Squirrel]

If you're serious skip the spreadsheet, implement it right in your site in the admin interface, so that when you enter data in it, it also is reflected within the site. No use in doing the work twice.

Here is the right code

 

[Gizmo j]

I'm using these for data for my website:

Top Lifetime Grosses

www.boxofficemojo.com

Advanced search

www.imdb.com

Biggest selling albums of all time.

So, it’s often unclear which albums are the biggest with the sales-streaming disparity. The analysis from Chartmasters is actually the most accurate, given its use of equivalent album units. It also strictly use certified sales Which is often less than actual sales but is objective. Link: Follow...

It's been a year, op has yet to advance past yapping.

OP would make a great politician. Big talk, zero action lol.

Recommendations from the planning committee haven't been released yet.

 

[sdifox]

it's a simple thing. borrow the info from IMDB and wikipedia and use a formula to calculate actor's age at film release year...

that would require a plan, executing said plan and maths.

I'm using OpenOffice Calc, and I'm currently collecting data for my website, Zoe Saldaña and Michelle Rodriquez were both 31 in Avatar 2009 while Sam Worthington was 33.

The website part is going to be easy, getting the data is going to be hard, especially if you actually are going to do this by hand. lol.

To do this proper you should write a script that can scrape sites like IMDB, or even Wikipedia. You put the artist name and it brings up their Wiki and it will have a list of what they've been part of. Either way, scraping is not easy, you need to parse out the HTML etc and figure out how to get the exact data you want. This could actually be a job for a local LLM actually. You get it to parse it and spit out the info in json format.

 

[sdifox]

You can download all of IMDB's data as long as it is for personal use.

 

[Chaotic42]

I'd probably make an entry for each actor, not put two together like Zoe and Michelle. Will make processing way easier. You also might want to have a key linking to the actor and movie so you don't have two types of information (Avatar - Michelle) in each cell.

I suspect he'll give up on this after a few days, but this will be a good learning experience about why we have things like databases. Sometimes you have to just go through the steps and suffer.
