Lol yeah, I guess.

I'm just personally rather against using code that I haven't written. I strictly only use code that I have come up with, and coded myself. But I guess that's just me 8) :P

sunkist seems to be a beginner in PHP, so building an admin panel for a website is a job out of his reach, I would think.

Using an existing blog/cms system would allow him to (relatively) quickly build his site and be able to manage the content. If the system is build in PHP itself or uses PHP for templates and/or plugins, it's possible for sunkist to slowly learn a thing or two by creating his own (php) templates or extensions.

Yeah, I guess. I never went the route of learning from other CMSs, I just dived in and wrote my own.

I guess you guys are right though.

What he could do is buy a book like "Build your own database driven website" on Sitepoint and use that to a) learn the basics of PHP and b) build a basic website with cms
