For most of the scripts, programs, and other random things that'll be posted, it would be best to keep them all in one directory. This way, you can easily follow the examples and references made later on.
Here's what to do:
1) Create a directory you have full permissions to. This can be your ~ (home) directory or something under /usr/
mkdir /usr/gbsd
2) Hopefully that directory has 755 permissions. If not do the following:
chmod 755 /usr/gbsd/
You should now have created a directory you can place your ghetto scripts in!
