Is CPanel a CMS? and if it isn't too much trouble, can someone pls upload a screenshot(,of CPanel that is)
Thanx.

where can I get a gTLD (Generic Top Level Domain e.g:.com, .net, .org) or a ccTLD (country code Top Level Domain e.g: .com.ng for Nigeria) that I can pay for just once and not periodically?

Does any host in Nigeria have experience with CMSs?

Thanx-a-lot!Somadino.
One thing though, what happens to the DB (i.e.: MySQL DataBase) on my system? Do I upload it to my host's server? or do I create a new one on the host's server with the same parameters?

Artboy:
While I was "off the grid", I familiarized myself with the CMSs I downloaded on my (not-connected-to-the-internet) computer, but how will I host it when I'm done building the site?

PLEASE REPLY!!!

I still need answers,

Thanx u guys!
I've finally installed WordPress, Joomla and Drupal.
I found wordpress the easiest to use (-joomla being the most difficult).
I still need some clarification on how to create themes for all/any of the 3, I tried building a theme for wordpress(by following the tutorials on the wordpress site) but it turned out pretty messed up.
I know how to use Dreamwaever, XHTML & CSS and have been designing static sites for a while but the increasing demand for dynamic sites made me turn to CMS.
When I eventualy get a hang of this CMS stuff how will I host it?
and how will my cliets use it hassle-free such that I don't get phone calls every week(or at all)?!

@justbones: wicked coloring! its pretty close to digital painting. I've always wanted to do som'n like that. keep it up.

Here's another one

Thanx a million!
I did some googling and Wordpress gets the most recommendations so I downloaded it, unzipped it and saw a bunch of .php files that only opened in dreamweaver (I was expecting a "setup.exe" file). The readme file says I need to have PHP & MySQL installed and also that I have to be online. Isn't there a CMS I can use locally and then upload whenever I'm ready?

What's the best CMS? How does one actually use one? Which is better; CMS or actual webdesign?
CMS Tutorials,

Here's another one, tried to get the "comic book" effect (but didn't quite cut it), and yes I know he's faceless!

from scanned drawing to "inking" in coreldraw, to coloring and shading in photoshop

Does 2D still stand a chance on the big screen or do you think it will stay limited to 30-min TV series?

Has any one seen the Supa Strikas cartoon ad? I like it and would like to know how it was done

I'm also interested but only in the visual effects aspects (tho all I can do is draw and color and use photoshop)kinda like what ILM does for hollywood. I love directors who use a substancial amount of CG effects in thier movies (eg.: Stephen Speilberg, Robert Rodriguez,, )

A friend of mine bought a PSP 4 his sis and asked me to design a cool wallpaper for it. Here's what I came up with
