Keep the list of ideas! I have a bunch of them, all need to be worked out.(^_^)

Pick the ones you think will work, and after that start working on the technical production of the site, i suggest to start small, learn some basic XHTML, some scripting (Ruby on Rails, Django,...), CSS, marketing, Photoshop tutorials, SEO, ... , the list goes on...
You can also use tools that are already constructed like Wordpress, and other blogging software (some PHP needed for wordpress, but i don't advise you to learn any PHP, go for Ruby on Rails- great support, or Django - lesser support but also great framework both FREE), also if you have DSL line at home with good connection start with it using ZoneEdit and host from home "server" like i'm starting, it takes no extra charges for you to pay for hosting and you can learn the skill although that is the HARD WAY, but the hard way is maybe the BEST WAY, it's like the baby, you have to nurture it for the nine months, painfully deliver it and then take care of it for long long time. For me this is the only right way!

If you don't have to look for j.o.b. right away, hone the skills and construct your self a viable long term business, invest in knowledge that is mostly free.

To construct a business is long and hard way to make a living, but once you pass the painful barrier of learning the skills you will be free to do what ever you want and you wont be questioning what to do, you will simply do it in couple of weeks and test it if it works, if not, you will reuse the parts of your work and construct the framework around another idea that will work.

Use your inner power to actualize the life you wanted.
