I added a poll system to my blog because I think it will be useful.
I’m also planning to re-design my blog a bit, starting by the layout and ending by the content. Stay tuned for news about the re-design 
Meanwhile…

You know how to write a valid XHTML document, however, the page is still not as nice looking as ruelicke.net or google.com or any other website out there.
What I teach you today is not how to create a professional website, but it is the basic design method any web programmer started with.
It is the old school table, but I add Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to the table to get it a nice look.
But before you can start, you need to have an idea how you want to structure your page. The best thing to do is to grab a piece of paper and make a draft. As example I made a draft in a graphic program, although I prefer the paper method:
Here it is, my new homepage.
I took me a bit more time than expected to get it done because I had some trouble with my arm and had to rest it. Well, at least my homepage has a way better design than before, although I decided to stick to the color scheme. I also added a couple of Ajax features, just for the fun of it 
Together with the re-design and re-coding of www.ruelicke.net I also adjusted the design of my blog. I hope you like it
I finally got the time to write again.
The last weeks where quite busy. First of all I kept to my Game Addiction Prevention program, then I decided to write my first very own template engine. After the template engine was a success, I started to work on the new homepage of the german actor Thorsten Kramer which is hopefully finished in a few weeks so I can release it
While working on that page I figured out that my own homepage ruelicke.net needs a re-design. I started it yesterday and so far the design is looking great. Can’t wait to finish the page and present it to you
So, what else is on deck?
My next article will be about the final results of my Game Addiction Prevention program. Then I thought about continuing my tutorials and of course posting some other nice things.

Update: Updated the color of the page header to fit to the new design planned for my homepage
Now, after we learned how to show content and also had a first glance at variables, we will now go a step further.
To define a variable in PHP you just need to use $ and a variable name: $variable.
You can use as variable name whatever you like, however you are not allowed to let it start with a number, like $1variable and there are also some predefined variables, about which I will talk later.
There are many types of variables, but for now we concentrate on 4 types (actually 5, but the fifth will follow in another tutorial). Continue…
