Hi all,

I am a developer without much design sense.

I'm looking for an online course (free or paid) that will teach me enough for me to be able to take a theme from theme forest and create good looking forms and pages with it.

I am not looking at become a good designer. Merely a developer that does not suck at design.

Thanks

I am looking at setting up a dedicated server, but am having a hard time figuring out which one.

Hetzner seems the best when it comes to bang for the buck, but should I be concerned about the DDOS issues?

Any recommendations for other providers from HN members? Any Gotchas that I should be careful about?

I'd be great if you could list down the provider you currently use or have used in the past (with price and specs if possible) along with your experience.

I recently found Alex Blumberg's podcast called "Startup Podcast" and loved it. I'm curious to know which podcasts are being listened to by the members of the HN community.

Other podcasts I regularly listen to - Startups for the rest of us - Bootstrapped.fm - SEO 101 - The Naked Scientists

Edit Note: Forgot to put an Ask HN in the title

I want to know whether I should create a Terms of Service and Privacy Policy page for my website. Searching on google brings out quite a few free online TOS and policy creators. However, I do not have the know-how to figure out how good they are.

How important is it to have those pages? Do I need them even if I am just validating an idea? or at an MVP launch?

Is picking up a free template online a good idea? Do I need to see a Lawyer?

Do you have a startup(s) whose TOS and Privacy Policy you refer to?

Any other things I need to keep in mind?

Thank you for your time and help. I love this community.

I had taken a break from HN for most of 2013 and I'm sure I've missed some gems. What are your favorite threads that you have seen here in the last year?
