    the best thing that you do is - as many cool musician has said - 'break it down'.

    think what you need for a blog. you need to be able to fill in a form and a script takes that info and either writes it to a text file or inserts it into a database. you then need a script that can read a text file or database and writes the contents on a page. that's the basic blog.

    so do a google for 'write text file php' or 'php insert into database' etc. looking for a tutorial that says 'Build Your Own Blog In PHP' for a newbie is tuff to find and tuff to do. Finding 'How To Write To A Text File In PHP' is easy to find, and - as it's about 5 lines of code - is easy to learn.

    and in this way, you WILL learn php rather than learning how to follow instructions.

    here endeth the sermon.
