Developing another blog application for learning purpose

I am thinking of developing a blog application. I understand that this has already been done many times. But i like do for learning purpose.

I like to know for this kind of blog app开发者_运维百科lication.

What are the desired features to develop?

Some interesting features that you may want to implement are (in no particular order):

• WYSIWYG editor (use one of the available like TinyMCE) for writing the posts. This is interesting for the sanitisation of input (you may/may not want your posters to be able to use certain HTML tags for instance).
• upload system for images/files that you want to include in posts
• support of comments with possibility of moderation
• voting system for the posts
• "share me" system (note in Google Reader, share on FaceBook, StumbleUpon etc etc.) (but note this :D :D)
• support of tags
• automatic suggestion of tags depending on the post text/title
• support for multiple users with different privileges. For instance you may have various types of users (admins, posters, guests) with different privileges: admins can modify all the posts, posters only their own posts, guest can only read. Other things may include different maximum upload size for the images etc etc
• implementation of linkbacks (trackbacks / pingbacks / refbacks)

I guess this is already plenty of work! Enjoy!!!

First, see the blog-in-15-minutes screencast in Ruby on Rails. This shows you the basic components and features and how to implement them, even if you do not want to use Rails.
