ZA Mentor urgently needed

No. I'm not kidding! I'm 43 and started getting into webmastering 2 weeks ago. So, what's the problem? I hear you say.
Well, it's very simple really. I'm bsically stupid, when it comes to websites, HTML, PHP, Java etc etc. In the last 2 weeks, I've spent 14 - 16 hr days studying as much on the above subject and many more besides, as I possibly could, but firstly my brain is struggling to take in all this new information at such a rate, since it has never had to deal with anything like it before.

Secondly, ther's just no way that anyone, especially this 43yr old, can learn in a few weeks (or even a few months) what most of you have been studying for at least a few years.

Thirdly - and there's a long story here, which we'll save for another day - I told the boss to shove his job a few months ago and now the finances are squeesing badly!! So, time is not on my side.

I need to get as many sites as possible up & running as soon as possible.

So, the logical thing to do - I would think - is to find someone with the necessary skills and do a JV with him/ her, while "learning on the job"

The question then is this: Is there a webbie from South Africa in the house??

HEELPPP!!
