Basically at the moment I have started getting an interest in websites. I'm using Joomla, which is pretty good for what I want, but it's a little cumsy and restrictive...

Where id the best place to start to learn something about making my own CMS for my sites, PHP and javascript.

Mainly I'm a little disappointed with Joomla as it is restrictive with how I layout my articles and stuff.

I appreciate I will have a lot to learn but am struggling to think where I should even start.

I basically want to get to a stage where I can use my own CMS, make my own template and set my own layout.


Learning how to script would be nice, I know PHP and javascript can do some cool things, and if I learn them maybe I can think of some cool uses for them on my website.

As you have probably guess by reading I am not to clued up on this website game hehe
 
I know nothing about anything really.

Just using joomla GUI to muddle through, we are going to buy Artisteer to sort a theme out for us.

I use the linux CLI a fair bit so I'm not scared of code at all...

I think my needs are rather basic tbh, but I'm really dissapointed that Joomla cannot do custom content layout's, I want different colour titles for articles and different colour boxes in various positions to make it easier to read and navigate, from what I have seen Joomla is very basic in this respect.
