Yet another new series is starting over at DevShed today with part one of a look at the creation of a blogging application in PHP 5.

Assuming that building a blogger with PHP is really an interesting topic for you, let's learn together how this useful application can be developed in a few easy steps.

These easy steps include:

• defining the structure of the application
• creating the insertBlog method
• creating the updateBlog method
• creating the deleteBlog method

Each of the above functions provides just the basics of the functionality needed to make a more fully-developed blogging system, but there's more to come in future parts of the series. You can download a zip file of the current code here.
