I'm sorry you feel that way; I've spent a good deal of time attempting to learn as much as possible, with the intention of doing it myself. Unfortunately, my aptitude for this sort of thing began to waver after 30, and even some of the explanations provided aren't making a lot of sense to me. I'm guessing this comes from the fact that the majority of folks posting here have some general knowledge which I happen to lack.

If I could make an analogy, it's similar to someone listening in on a group of musicians discussing advanced musical theory, without knowing the rudiments. If you don't understand the fundamentals, the other concepts are confusing. In other words, despite the information being there (and maybe I did miss something which was more clear; my brain is a honestly a little fatigued) I don't understand what to do with it.

As I said before, I apologize if I derailed the thread or if I'm coming off as lazy or expectant, because at this point I do genuinely want to understand how this works, and I have spent the last couple of days with my nose buried in PHP tutorials (hence the fatigue) trying to do just that.
