blog like thingy

[hoodz]

i want to make somekind of blog so that ppl can post things on it BUT i want that ppl have to login first with a username and pass that i made up, does someone know how to make something like that?

Well you could make it with mysql and php but you'd have to create an entire blogging system (which isn't all that hard, and I recommend everyone build one at some point) but then you'd need to learn all about user systems and such so that'd be a bit hard to do, but it's completely feasable. It would take a while though if you don't know any php/mysql. I suggest just using a pre-established blogging software. I think blogger requires users to sign up, so that might be a good solution.

Ok, I'm working on this also. Other opinions I have heard say use a text file database.. which I dont really think would work well and is said to be more secure.... Also, I'm confused on the best way to store user information ect. SHoudl I create one database and then everytime a user signs up, create a table with his/her information and space for blog entries.

What do you guys think?

is it possible to make something without mysql too? but then a simple version without login and stuff so more like a guestbook

Wordpress allows user registration.

It's by far the best blogging system, along with MT.
