Web Site Idea, Good Or Bad?

This is almost a selfish question as I am just in search of popular opinion but I couldn't resist.

As so many sites devote a portion of their site to recommending other sites, Favorites so to speak. Some of these may be affiliates while others may not be but they are considered respected sites. If there were a web site (There may already be that I have not found.) that was devoted to linking to web sites after review for legit content that visitors could submit sites for review to build a large directory of favorite sites with a rating system similar to what we use here on each topic. Would this be something you would check from time to time in hopes of finding a new site that has already been checked for its content as well as submit respectable sites as you find them and rate ones that you would use? This would be sort of like an online favorites list. Which one day could have login specific lists as well as the full database of sites. To take your favorites list with you to any computer in a way.

I know this is a lot of the concept of what actual site rating sites are now but I believe they could be done more my style.

I would probably use it, as I am always fascinated to find new and interesting sites. I am always also looking to share fascinating new sites that I have found with others. A hub, so to speak, where these sites can be found and shared would be nice. The question would be how would these sites be categorized as the content on the Internet encompasses everything under the sun?

There are plenty of these kinds of things around. I have in fact just installed one under the links section of https://www.bordeglobal.com/foruminv/index.php?showforum=120 - it has rating system, what is hot, sample pic, etc.

Yes, must like the organization in which JB uses for his link section but without many of the other features that he includes in the main. I also have the dream to go more in depth as topics are so diverse that as sites with new content begin to collect break them off into subgroups. This also allows for an indexed search within the site for similar material that may not fall within the same group. I guess it would categorize much like the topics here but rather than with discussion just links with personal testimony and rating.

Most of these scripts can be customized to whatever you like. You just use the back end for the main structure and then edit here and there. You actually need to know more about design and HTML than PHP if that is a worry for you.

Actually that is exactly my worries JB. I have very little background with PHP which causes me most of my concerns. HTML I can do it just make take me a little longer in some areas while I brush up.

Most PHP scripts use HTML and you can see the code clearly. If the coder is friendly then they do all the HTML stuff in one file so you never have to touch the PHP, but if not, read on.

The important thing you have to understand is the usage of quotes and hyphens. If a code is between quotes then you need to use hyphens and vice versa depending on how the coder did the script.
