Hello,
I want to make a CoD fan site, but I have no idea how to make one. I was thinking of using php, but I have no idea how to use that either... I would like to make a site that looks similiar to one of these:
http://www.uberclan.com/
http://bob.iwnation.com
http://www.callofduty.nl/index2.php

I want to include news, updates, SP/MP info, forum, links, downloads, and all the more to boot!
I just need a little, or a lot, of help getting started. I am completely noobish when it comes to webmaking, so could anyone help me or guide me to the right direction? Thanks.

Well, the first thing you need is a webhost. There are lots out there, some will even supply a website for you. Some are free, others charge by the month. One of the best and cheapest I have found is ClansElite (http://www.clanselite.com). They charge $5.50 per month for a php website (all those you listed were phpnuke sites).

The second thing you need is a theme for the site, and someone to keep it updated. If that is going to be you, then you will be learning a LOT about phpnuke.

The third thing you need is someone that knows how to manipulate graphics or create them. You will need to do a LOT of searching the net for graphics that you can use on your website.

Maintaining a website and keeping it fresh requires a lot of time. Look around at webhosting companies (do a google search for "webhosting") and see what you can find.
