PHP blog development???

Post by josh22x »

I am planning to trying to develop my own blog software using PHP (similar to Wordpress).

Do any of you know any good resource for doing this??

I will be doing this over the summer; therefore, any resources including websites, books, online tutorials will be helpful.

Thanks!

What kind of experience do you have? I'd say start with a concrete set of features and work from there. Wordpress is pretty feature-rich and probably too large of a goal at the moment, so set your goals small at first. Basic blog functions:

Administration panel
* Manage posts / categories
* Manage users
* Manage settings (such as blog title)

Front-end

Home page - list the 10 most recent posts w/links to archive
Archive - display archived pages by date
Single Post page - display a single post in detail

Then go from there...

I have VERY little experience with PHP so far. I will be trying to gain a lot of experience through this project.

Thanks

Please post any more helpful ideas, tutorial, or books on this process if you think of any!

I programmed a blog a while ago. It is a very rewarding experience, but when you compare it to Wordpress, it hardly matches up. I did learn a lot though. You should really just go about it yourself. Blogs gets you into databasing, content management, user privileges, etc.

If I need any help with the process would you be willing for me to send you some questions?

Did you use any books for good online tutorials for the blog development process?

Thanks
