Building a Social Networking Site?

I already bought a domain through GoDaddy. Now I need to build the Social Networking site. Is there a tutorial out there, a program, or code i can use? Don't know much about building websites, but I have an idea and want to try to make it work.I would love to use something like Ning.com or Kickadds but doesnt look like they let you use your own domain (if there is a way, i would love to hear it). I can host on a friend's server if needed. Please help.


Thanks.

Ning lets you use your own domain name for a small fee. This is from their question and answer page:

"Can I use a different domain name (e.g. www.example.com) for my network?





Absolutely. You need to purchase the premium service, "Use your own domain name" and configure your domain name to point to your social network. This requires you to work with the domain registrar from whom you purchased your domain name. It is $4.95 per month.





Before you can map your domain you must register it. Ning does not offer domain registration services but we do recommend GoDaddy, Network Solutions, Yahoo!, or 1%26amp;1.





Next, sign up for the "Use your own domain name" premium service and let us know what your domain is. To do this sign in to your network as the Network Creator, click on the Manage tab, locate the "Ning Resources" box and click on the "Add Premium Services" link. On the Premium Services Page, type your purchased domain name into the URL box and click the button to "Proceed to Payment."





Finally, it's time to set up the appropriate DNS records with your domain registrar or host. This may be tricky because different registrars provide different tools for managing DNS, and some don't provide the ability to customize your DNS in the way that's required for domain mapping to work correctly. For this reason, we have tutorials for our four recommended domain name registrars: GoDaddy, Network Solutions, Yahoo!, and 1%26amp;1





Once you've configured your domain name at your registrar or host, you'll need to wait up to a couple of days (though it's often faster) while the configuration propagates around the world."
