So i spent the day installing a test server using mysql, phpmysql, apache, and php5.
Took about 4 hours to figure out all the bugs in the installation..
now i realize i have no idea what im doing with it so gunna try looking up how to make databases work.

Try breaking your tasks into mini tasks. Like, for example, you want to know how to get the icon in the top-right corner with a drop-down. Start with that.

What structure would you need? Would you need the page to be a certain size? Centered? How does the page react to windows downsizing where parts of the whole width can't be displayed?

So once the basic structure is established (centered page of a fixed width, in pixels), you can then try to get the icon in the top-right corner, and try to use javascript to create a pop-up menu on mouse-over.

I'm not a web developer but that would be my two cents.
