Topic awaiting preservation: Weblogs...

I'm trying to make my own weblog from scratch BUT!! I don't know where to start! I was wondering if anyone here knew of a nice walkthrough of some sort or even better a tutorial on how to make a blog bottom up? I tried googling but all I got was weird people writting about crazy walkthroughs in their blogs... so anyone?

that would be right here

Gee u guys have everything

One more question. I've found other walkthroughs on blog making and I've noticed that including the one at GN they all have been made using a table layout. If I were to make it in pure CSS what should I exchange what with? What should I like switch tables for p's or something like that??

You should use whatever element is appropriate...

Yes, that is vague, but there is no one answer for this question...it depends entirely on what is being marked up.

If you have something displaying multiple blog entries on a page, this might be a logical way to mark it up:

<h1>Page Title</h1>



<div class="entry">

<h2>Entry Title</h2>

<p class="author">By: Author | date</p>



<p>yadda yadda</p>

<p>blah blah</p>



</div>



<div class="entry">

<h2>Entry Title</h2>

<p class="author">By: Author | date</p>



<p>yadda yadda</p>

<p>blah blah</p>



</div>



etc...

I guess I better get coding then

You're entirely correct DL, and this is, in fact, what one of the best blogging tools around, WordPress, uses, almost down to the element names too

Call it HTML 101 even.

Just a note:
I made my blog from scratch with no assistance. (tutorials, examples, forums, etc.) Plus I previously made a blog when I was still learning PHP.
I guess my brian swims in the PHP syntax of my ideas.
