Ask HN: Should I look for a more technical co-founder and pursue this?

So I just got to thinking about this tonight, and I figured I'd come on here and lay it all out there to see what some people who know what they're talking about think.

Alright, well first let me say that I'm a 17 year high school senior (going to college later this year). I have some beginner knowledge in PHP that I've picked up online. This is where my tale begins.

About a month ago I decided to start programming a site, just for fun. I won't get into details about what the site was, but I basically got far enough to have a working site going on my localhost. I'm not any expert programmer or anything now. Then, I realized that this type of site would probably be really popular as a script, so I thought about programming it as a script to be distributed. I started re-coding from the bottom up (the first one only took me a few days) but quickly realized that I'm not experienced enough to count on the security of the site, or create complex systems like plugins and themes for the script. I pretty much abandoned the project.

Now tonight, I was sitting here thinking, and I realized that I might be able to find someone who is more experienced in web development to take my prototype and rebuild it as a fully featured script, and we could sell the script, with a 50 / 50 split.

Does anyone have any thoughts on whether I should bother, how I could go about it (I don't live in the Valley), what kinds of precautions to take, and how I can gain ownership / founder status in a company as a 17 year old?

Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thank you.
