You haven't told us enough about what you know already and what you want to do. That's like saying "I want to build a house and I am not bad with construction work, what should I do?"

The web is just full of tutorials on how to do almost anything you could think of. Use a search engine to find some and study them.

Okay,

News systems have to be secure for a few various reasons, the ones I HAVE found seem incomplete (in others anyone searching the directory or just nosey in general could probably find how to post because they don't require a login system. OR the ones that do i have a login systems are not complete. Could I study these, sure. Would it lead me in a good direction? At this moment probably not. I can do most things with PHP but forums and blogs are a bit out of my expertise sadly. Hope that better explains it.

It depends how you look at them; if you see them as 'bad news systems' then they won't help, i agree on that. If you look at the as 'previous attempts and i can look at this and fill the gap they are leaving' then you may learn something.

Make a list of the 'flaws' that the existing systems have and see how they can be improved. If you're looking for login / security tips, search the forums' "Security" section. Paste ideas here if you're looking for feedback on ideas, etc. good luck with the endeavour :)

Hrmm thats not a terrible idea, I guess its just I don't have a good basis. Finding one setup with login and database has been my bigger issue most of them I have ran across don't save to a database or have a login and I feel that hurts the security of what I want to do. But at the same time not great with how to work a login system with a posting system so trying to find a decent example is harder.
