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.
