As a lot of you may know here, I am not a PHP coder whatsoever, I just never really bothered to learn, never seen a need, until now...

I want to code a simple blogging system, nothing like Saralblog or Wordpress. I just want a posting system, and that is it.

So can anybody direct me to a tutorial, or something that will do what I want...

Keep in mind that I am a complete newb at PHP, and of course, if it is needed MySql.

funny you should say this....
so am i, but i am 70% into it.
so i might be able to help you, a bit

if the site your making the blog for is also gonna have a forum, I'd recommend doing what I did, and using the forum to control the news/blog posts, like I did at MPSounds.net.

No, the site is going to be purely a blog, the main index anyway, I don't want it to be connected to anything else on the rest of the site.

Should I suggest Cutenews? I know you probably heard of it.. and probably do not want to use it.. but in my oopinion it is the easitest way..

PHP Web Blog - Part 1 and Part 2. Don't know the simplicity of it though.

I made mine from scratch with little knowledge of MySQL and the PHP needed to write a comment system etc etc. If I could do it, I'm sure you'll have no problems.

Heres what I did:

- Register and account for a server that supports php & mysql (www.cankoo.com)

- Download Joomla  CMS (Content Manager System) at http://www.joomla.com/

- Upload everything into your Server (htdocs)

- Follow the instructions

- And you got your self a personal website/Blog that looks preaty simple and profesional. You can also get themes as well... or make your own using dreamweaver & photoshop.

write to file is easy

getting results from mysql is easy


you'll be fine on ur own

That doesn't help me at all, I have my own hosting and domain etc. if you actually researchd my question properly etc. I did not ask for a content management system, what I asked for was a tutorial on how to write my own simple blog. And I know how to make themse by the way.

Can you read in the future please?
