your options. 1. build from scratch PHP/mySQL/JavaScript - long and painful road. 2. use existing CMSs - Joomla,Drupal,WordPress etc... a learning curve for each CMS, but ater that you are able to code comfortably within the framework. 3. Use a small CMS, with small framework but enough. build upon it. e.g. SNEWS 4. A combo of mixed establshed CMS and home made solutions. use the CMS as your main engine, but stay slightly out of its framework and make your own codes for your own special functions, while using the CMS for large functions (like blogging ). You get best of both worlds, but staying out of the CMS means also you deprive yourself from intergration into its functiionalities. Still, it is not a bad idea if you consider that it would take lots of coding and testing tomake your own blog, photo gallery and all that sort of functionalities. 5. Use several CMS, stay well out of each system and write a separate controller program that intergrates them all. This may requires specific knowledge into each CMS, but you would really get best of all worlds. Imagine being able to use Joomla,Drupal, WordPress,Gallery2 all from your own control center. But itergration of all this is perhaps worth a PhD on its own. i would recomend you use method (3)

have a look at SNEWS.

if you want something small, simple and complete take a look at sNEWS

plenty of recoures on joomla all over the world. be careful not to buy the sales talk of what you was told (it makes web design faster and hassle free.) your statement has to be carefully answered. Websites, yes i would agree, one could setup a decent professional looking website using joomla in under 5 minutes. web applications however is quite another story. In order to do *anything* at all but the simplest of things web application wise in Joomla, you have to know greek. if you want websites, go for joomla. if you want web applications, it takes about 2 years to master it ( or maybe i am that stupid ). that said, if you like the interface, it certainly is a pleasure to code within the joomla framework, on condition you rely on your own code strength. relying too much on the framework would be an expensive mistake. my advise would be make independent extensions that can work inside the framework or while retaining a high degree of independence ( stand alone ). making your own cms would be much better i think, but i f you need lof of funtionality, the other establish framework provide for that in a better way. that be my 2cents.

just tag the username to the article, do a strpos scan for the username ( which is required to be unique ) and flush periodically as required. Note that IP isn't reliable for this purpose, user may use another computer/location, but username remain a constant.
