Trium918 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Where does everyone get their blogging applications from? What are some good blogging applications/scripts that are free? How many people use the blog that comes with their hosting plan? Important: How is it configured and secured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 For something as simple as a blogging application Id'e probably be inclined to roll my own depending on the features I was after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trium918 Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 For something as simple as a blogging application Id'e probably be inclined to roll my own depending on the features I was after. I asked because my hosting offers a blog. I really haven't learn how to ' write my own script yet. Thanks, for the post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcombs_31 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 well, anything on the web is to a certain degree, but I know wordpress has a plugin for askimet, which filters spam. You're posting on a PHP board, why not try building one yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbullmarky Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 rolling your own is pretty straightforward. Blogs seem to be the new "Hello World" these days. If you're not fussed about all that and want to get straight to the blog, then Wordpress or Serendipity are both pretty useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salis Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I've never really liked 3rd pary blogs. I've actually written my own app for that. It's really not hard at all. All you really need is 1 database and 2 tables (one for the username and password and another for blog title and post contents). A beginner following a tutorial could probably make a working one in a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmanronald06 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 This is a very adaptable tutorial: http://lampgeekz.netgeekz.net/tutorials/index.php?cmd=tutorial&id=1&page=0 It says news system, but change the word news to blog on the database table, and your ready to go. For me it started out as a guestbook, then a news system like you see there, and then I turned it into a blog which can be found here (ronald.netgeekz.net) :-/ also, wordpress and drupal are two i would suggest for third party.

steelmanronald06 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 bahahaha! 3 jobs, online web programming for clients, college, and me and my best-friend are buying us a house as soon as we find one....hmmm.....guess who is to busy to keep up a blog these days?!?! hahaha! let me tell you, when you start making a life, fun things are no longer something you get to enjoy. and....money...a funny thing about that little green piece of paper that means so much to us.....it is almost impossible to get, even more impossible to hold on to, and you never get it back unless what you traded in exchange for it breaks or doesn't work, and even then you don't always win out. oh, and about college. it doesn't matter if it works or not, because i normally know more than my teachers, and you don't get your money back for that!!!!
