So, the Wordpress backend is pretty spiff right? I’m currently attempting to marry the wordpress backend to an ASP.NET frontend. Bold? Yes. Wise? Probably not. I think Ruby on Rails would probably be a better solution, but yeah. I’m also thinking about creating an all ASP.NET content management system. I’m only considering this because that’s what they use at my work and that’s what they need.
Or… perhaps my work is already done for me: http://umbraco.org/

3 weeks later… So, I got a job and that’s been keeping me kind of busy. On the plus side I now know ASP.NET or at least a decent amount of it. On the minus I’m still doing this thing in php.

I had initially planned to expand on a small php script that I wrote like a year ago which would have been the basis for a blogging system. Unfortunately, I no longer have those files, so I have to start from scratch. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but its a little disappointing.
Anyways, in order to create a blogging system I need to create a database schema and then I need to create a three-tiered interface. The database will be created using mySQL and the interface will be coded using pHp. Using mySQL presents some unavoidable problems in that tables will all have to be linked by hand and there is no real way to enforce referential integrity.
The three-tiered layout will allow me to create a front-end for the day to day face of the blog, an administration system for advanced users, and a back-end with all of the code that the users will never have to see.
First I’m going to create the database schema. Stay tuned for documentation on that.

Hello, to anyone who’s wandered in to see what this is all about. Sorry to my friends who will more than likely be forced to see this. This is the part where I tell you what I’m doing and all that.
Goal: To document my creation of a brand spanking new blogging system that will eventually be hosted here in place of the current WordPress setup.
Reasons:
1. I feel like it.
2. I need to practice my php skills and possibly learn a thing or two.
Sweet, now that all of that is out of the way I’m going to get to coding and designing. Oh, I also intend to blog about my other projects here as well, and I’m going to try and organize it as well as possible.
