As simple as it can get:

Table user with user_ID, name etc
Table posts with ID, ref id, timestamp, user_id, text
Table authorize user_id, password

This will probably not help you. Just look for some tutorials about database normalisation. If you learn the first 3 you will be able to design a database quite nicly.
