So, i really want to start a community photo gallery, but i don't understand much tech lingo beyond basic HTML. i'm very willing to learn though!
what are the first steps to having a site like this? is it getting a host? can anyone direct me to a step by step way to creating a community photo gallery using coppermine?
thanks

Did you read the documentation that is supplied on this site ?
http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#what (http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#what) it explains the basic stuff needed in order to run a cpg site.
If what is being said there is abracadabra to you get a friend to help you out or if you don't have any ;) see to the Freelancer board on this forum to see if anyone is willing to help out. Basicly we do support for cpg, not on how-to-setup-my-website questions.
To answer your question about getting host.. absolutely nescesary. Do a search on the board, there are a number of good hosts around on which cpg runs perfectly.
Have fun with cpg!
