    Need Help Building A Kid Friendly Website

    My eight year old nephew was telling me about minecraft and how he would like to make tutorial videos and post them to youtube so I decided for xmas I'd build him his own website so he can post videos and talk about minecraft, legos, pokemon, or whatever the hell else 8yr olds are into.

    The kid's a genius also, so I thought it would be a good learning experience for him (and also for myself since I've never built a website). What I want to do is make a very basic website with a forum and adsense.

    I've already bought the domain, what I am looking for is any advice or links to simple, easy to read instructions on putting together a basic site and forum. Keep in mind I'm an idiot when it comes to websites (and plenty of other things), and an 8 yr old will be maintaining the site after I give it to him on xmas.

    Any advice or help is truly appreciated. I'm hoping this really sparks in interest in him and he goes on to create the next facebook and I can retire and live like Dan Bilzerian.

    Is squarespace a decent option? I've never used it, or even checked it out, but if they are what they claim to be, you should have a usable website up and running purty fast. They're pretty solid at advertising, anyway.

    Forum is probably a mistake.

    It will be found by spammers, and all of a sudden will be inundated with messages about upskirt videos and anal sex sites. Then his mom will see and blame Uncle Willie the pervert for the whole thing.

    Why are you bothering with Adsense if it's only a few kids visiting the site?

    Minecraft is very popular these days with smart kids 8-12 years old. If the pedos haven't found it yet, they will soon. It would be a goldmine for them.

    Adsense is just to introduce him to some ways of monetizing his site. I'm hoping the whole thing is just an educational tool that gets him interested in programming, online marketing, etc.

    Are there ways of blocking explicit content or spam?

    youre actually at risk to a degree;

    youre going to be parking the site at an inexpensive hosting company most likely, some variation on that theme. its SOP to scan those IP blocks because the low price generally translates to low technical sophistication combined with a deficit of resources delegated to security and configuration.

    basically the trope that 'high profile' sites are more at risk is misleading. you may be more at risk of defacement but for malware and spam, thats strictly a numbers game.

    if you can, consider paying for a copy of vbulletin, because the patching process is really easy and they send out email updates when security patches are required.

    but better than that imo would be to simply set up something on an existing blog type site and let him update content thusly, within that framework.

    Wordpress is very simple to set up for a decent looking and functional blog-type website. If the kid decides to dig deeper into the backend, he can learn a few things about HTML and PHP and make customizations.

    Is there anything more annoying on this forum than Rollo and Sonatines little 8th grade pent up crushes on eachother?
