Hello All,
I know going in to this I'm sure to get some intentionally ridiculous responses and I'll enjoy reading them, but I'm also hoping to get at least a few helpful replies.
So, I'm pretty novice to anything computer related beyond a 'normal' computer users knowledge. This means, I can't code, identify impoprtant computer inards, design web sites, etc. However, I'm looking to change that and found a cool, free web design 'How To' on youtube and am ready to try and create my own website.
I'm having trouble coming up with a cool idea. I know you don't know me so you won't be able to give a personalized response and I'm not looking to make any money from the site... With that said; can you all help me think of a few cool website ideas?

If you don't have anything specific in mind and just want to get some experience, why not make a personal website? A homepage with a brief bio, sub-sections for projects you're working on or other things you want to share. Similar to a blog, but not time-based. This is something I've wanted to do for myself for awhile, but just haven't had the time.

Make a game! With HTML5 nad CSS 3, it's a good idea.

I don't know if that was sneaky and clever or if I'm just slow at this point lol.

You should make a website to help people learn about and identify computer parts. I hear people want to learn about that stuff.

I'm a professional web developer and well, this is it to be honest.
Best option to go for at the moment mate.

Yeah a personal website is a good idea, I want to mess primarily with php and javascript so I'll probably get a domain and host my website, it's quite cheap to do that. I don't have much to say about myself but I guess it's a cool way to learn a couple of languages and have a domain of your own :P

Plus, if you make mistakes on a personal site, it's a learning experience and not a blow to your business.

I know there articles are meant to be jokes, but they make valid points. Things to avoid:

Lens flare FTW. I was a little disappointed that blinking or marquee text was not included -- they enhance any website they touch.
