Question ID: 524176
I would like to know how to set up a blog website for my friends and I
to write blogs about various topics.
I have the domain name and server space, all I need to know are what
types of programming methods are needed and the complexity involved to
create this type of website. I would most like to create the type of
blog where users post messages, not necessarily like Blogger where
users have their own web space. Although information on creating that
type of website would be appreciated as well.
I am moderately skilled in relatively simple applications of common
programming languages, but prefer to use asp.net technology.
If you could give me a generally good idea of where to start or point
me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi

Are you looking for tips & tricks how to create multi-user blog
software or are you looking for ready-made software that can be used
to setup many blogs?

Thanks,
Best Regards

Hi,

In response to your request for clarification:

Really both of those topics would be fine. I would prefer equal weight
given to both topics, but if you were to focus on one of the two
topics more extensively, I would choose tips & tricks how to create
multi-user blog software.

But really information on both would be great.

Thanks a lot!

Hi

I have found http://www.hotscripts.com/ useful in my time to find all
different types of scripts for hosting on webservers, just type "blog"
in the search box and you may find what youre looking for.

Drupal http://www.drupal.org is an excellent source for software that
is free and very easy to set-up and administer.  There are lots of
good add-on modules that you can use to help your users.  At its base
it is excellent for mulitple authors to contribute to a project like
blogs.

Also, there are tools such as wordpress which allow you to post blogs
on your own site. (Requires PHP/MySQL).

Hello,
     As far as nuts and bolts go, you'll definately need MySQL.  This
is a database system that will allow you to store all of your users,
passwords, posts, etc. securely on your server.  The generally
accepted language for working with MySQL is PHP.  I highly suggest
"Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL" at
http://www.sitepoint.com/books/phpmysql1/ .  This contains all the
information you need, but I wonder what your current web/programming
experience includes.  If you are not familiar with at least html and
scripting, this would be a very large step and I would suggest a
canned (pre-made) program.
                                       Sam
