    I dont know where to start, I want to create a website similar to the layout of sayfiereview.com, with the whole website being aggregated content.

    I want the website to be three or four columns:

    • 1 column with a blog roll "ticker" with my favorite blogs and their latest posts(im sure there are plenty of widget/plugun type of stuff for that)
    • 1 column with "latest news" (you know how you can set up google alerts for a keyword like "tourism" and get all related news articles? I want something like that on my page, where It would post all the latest news articles that would have to do with "tourism"
    • 1 column with latest twitter tweets from twitter accounts I like

    any suggestions on where to start, is this easy enough to do myself (have minimal dreamweaver/blogger.com experience), should i go with the wordpress? any suggestions would be great

    Yeah, I would suggest you go with Wordpress, you can choose 3 or 4 coloumn themes and the content management is really easy.
    If you get struck, Youtube is there for quick wordpress solution reference.
    Also you got people who can help you with your wordpress requirement for just $5 at Fiverr.

    All the best dude.

    Hi there - I have had very little blogging experience and have found Wordpress to be an excellent easy to use tool with all the widgets and so that you need and as stated above there are a lot of "help" sites out there to help you if you get stuck.
