Perhaps I'm not as talented, but it seems it'd take far more than a day to write a robust, production-quality cms.

- thwarted 18y ago"Production quality" means something different for when the target audience is you, the target audience is one person, or the target audience is the general public. All a blog is is a bunch of web pages. You don't even need a CMS to create those, you can just create them by hand. But I have been called "old-school" on occasion.
- unalone 18y agoYeah. Though to the OP: are there any good tutorials you'd recommend to those of us who would be INTERESTED in making our own?
- qhoxie 18y agoYes. Pickup X framework in Y language and watch the introductory blog tutorial.
- dryicerx 18y agoStraight PHP and MySQL. http://www.tizag.com/phpT/ http://www.tizag.com/phpT/ http://us.php.net/tut.php http://us.php.net/tut.php or just google for PHP and MySQL. Understand that a blog is nothing more than a list of posts/entries. Simplest case is have one php script that just dumps the entries from the SQL database on to a page (you can improve up on that with things like pages, tags, trackbacks, etc) but those are all extras. Comments are just entries, except they have a extra field that specify which post/entry they belong to. Posts and Comments, the only two things required for a blog. Now just improve upon that. Do a few PHP/MySQL tutorials and you should be able to do this pretty easily. And this can be done very short too... mine is 1700 lines (that includes whitespace and comments) running janitha.com right now * Posts/Pages * Comments * A Captcha-like Implementation * Gallery Intergration * A simple Plugin/Widget Architecture * Simple Admin Interface for adding/modifying/deleting posts * RSS * URL Rewriting * Automatic Static Caching
