Well, after a few weeks, I finished MoonBlog 1.0

You can read about it here - http://www.dreaminco...wtopic61625.htm

Coding was easy enough, and besides the installer, everything else was a piece of cake. The hardest part was making it look nice. CSS and HTML are easy enough, but making it come together was difficult. I'm a programmer, not a designer. Heck, the only image I have on the blog is the little logo at the top. But all in all this was a great experience, and I've learned more than I ever would have if I'd just sat around making little 10-20 line scripts.

I'd suggest anybody wanting to learn advanced PHP start working on a CMS.

As for updates to MoonBlog, unless there are any security vulnerbilities (which I'm pretty sure there aren't) or I'm really bored, I don't plan on it. Adding more stuff will mean editing the design, which will be a huge pain for me.

EDIT: I guess I kind of made this post in the heat of the moment after finishing my blog. After looking through my code again, it looks like someone took an object-oriented crap in my toilet bowl of procedural code. I am proud of having made my first CMS, but I defintely will not be updating it. For now it will serve the purpose of sitting on my HD to remind me in a few years of what I was like as a programmer.
