Does anyone know how to code a blog?

Hi there . Hows everyone?

Does anyone know how to make their own blog?

I'm looking for the same elements used in a blog. I looked all over and came up empty handed.

This is what I'm looking for.

A Comment box where users can comment on blogs posted. I should be able to remove comments when needed. Let me know if you can help me out with this or if you can point me to tuts out there. Your help is very much appreciated.

Im also looking for something where people can make thier on log post and other can comment on it. No Registration or sign ups .

Your help is very much appreciated.

 

have you tried wordpress ?

 

Thanks for the suggestion !
I have look at word press before .But I dont think it will work for what Im doing.

This comment box is a feature that I want intergrated into a website .

 

Wordpress do have a comment box..
Do you mean a different type of comment box

 

Yea wordpress has like 2 million extensions

And also tons of plugins

There is no need to code your own, in my opinion

 

If you need professional Wordpress Coder Please PM me

 

Yeah I want basically the same type of comment box. But I need to contro the rest of the design and I aslo i dont want it have to do anything with wordpress meaning wordpress' branding. Can that all be removed?

I will have it on myown domain as well

 

Thanks for the tip

 

Did you mean that you have a website and you want to let people have the ability to comment on your website?

 

Im in the process of building the website. the concept follow a blog in with fact that I want the freed of users to post comments on tops that I write about. But I want to control the design of this as well.

I dont want any archive links I just want it all in a scroll bar

 

Hi everyone
I’m still looking for help and suggestions. sudaybrew suggested an article script may do the trick which might actually work.

The thing is I’m looking for a script to have these features or at least some of these features: most viewed, recently added, rating system, comments.

I don’t want anyone to have to register to comment or register to do anything other then me in which I would need to submit or delete anything.

I’m also looking for buttons with previous or next to flip though the articles. Hope this helps to clear up what I am looking for.

Please let me know if you seen something like this in the net

 

You can customize wordpress however you want, including removing the branding, getting rid of archives, using a scroll bar, clicking to advance/rewind articles, comments. I really think it would be the cheapest/easiest for you to use wordpress and customize it yourself or pay someone to, as it won't require that much work.

 

It looks like im going to try wordpress several DP members have suggested it.
I downloaded the files that I needed to .Now heres where I run into a problem "I have no clue how to upload PHP scripts"

If anyone has the knowledge may they please give me some pointers...

thank you

 

My opinion on coding a blog is similar to coding a forum - no need to re-invent the wheel. It's been done very well so many times before, why go through the hassle? Besides, it's far too cost-prohibitive.

 

I need the same fuctions but for a completly different purpose

 

Can you elaborate on what functions you need that Wordpress doesn't offer?

 

Firstly, you need an FTP client. Then you need to know your host's address and a username and password to use. From there, your client should have two columns, the left one being the files on your local machine, and the right one being the files on your host. Once you're connected and can see your host's files, if there is a folder called public_html or www, you want to double click on that folder to enter it and then in your client find the files you want in there, then upload them.

 

okay I done all that you said I should do and what i think is close to my final step this is what i get---->

Error 500: Script Execution Failure
Description: The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Most common reasons for returning this error message are:


• File Upload Mode
When you upload Perl, CGI scripts via FTP you should use always ASCII mode. If you get "Error 500: Script Execution Failure" you should check whether your FTP client uses ASCII mode when uploading your scripts, because if it uses BINARY mode to upload your scripts they won't work on the server. The problem caused by wrong upload mode is associated with the way different operating systems handle the "end of line" character. Unix system uses a "line-feed" (LF), Windows uses a "carriage-return" (CR) and "line-feed" (LF) pair. That's why it is very important that you set the uploading mode to ASCII.

• File Permissions
When you upload scripts via FTP the file permissions are set by default to 755. If you get "Error 500: Script Execution Failure" you should check whether your scripts have 755 permissions. Otherwise your scripts have lower level of permissions and does not support execution upon request. The octal representation of the 755 permission is equal to the following textual format: -rwxr-xr-x
Most FTP clients support the CHMOD command which is used for setting file permissions. In case you have set improper permissions to your scripts, use your FTP client and set "Read, Write, Execute" permissions for the owner, "Read, Execute" permissions for the group and everyone else.

• Script Errors
This is the third well known reason for getting "Error 500: Script Execution Failure" upon execution of your scripts. Check your scripts for any obvious syntax or programming errors to make sure your code is not broken.


Remember: When you get a "Error 500: Script Execution Failure", you should always check for any file uploading problems (ASCII/BINARY) and the executable permission settings. Once those are checked and verified, it looks like there is a syntax error or some other problem in the script.



do you know any reason why this might be happening?

 

Check and be sure your host supports php, also check your permission settings. If you want I can install it for you, just drop me a pm.

 

PM set. Thanks a lot for this. My host supports PHP. Thanks again
