Bet you also want to allow someone to search the database and have it to where you can have categories for the person to click on.

well yes, like an archive, I pretty much just need a blogger, that just presents the material, and thats it...I can't seem to find any that can't be placed into another webpage...

The double negative confuses me. Do you mean you can't find any that can fit into any web page or that you can but it doesn't use SQL type database?

Actually, I made a simple blogger (simple as in just a converted over news script that I made. Actually, that is exactly what it is. It would be easy to make that into a class but I'm not interested in blogging so I didn't have any administrative features or any features in fact.

You will probably want administrative features also:

add to blogger
delete entries
archive part entries
Security

I would guess you only want the what the people will see to be customizable.

PHP Resource Index (http://php.resourceindex.com/) has a lot of cool scripts and maybe one or two out of the lot should do what you want. Don't know: templated systems are hard to do I think and the ways some of them come by it seems kind of slow.

I made a news publishing system, you can check it out here (http://kryptech.net/KPS.php) . You may want to mess around with it some.

Yeah, I would think that a news system and a blogger would be sort of the same. Bascially, you are posting text to a web site. The only difference is that a blogger is your personal thoughts and the news is what you did to your site.

No, if you want to create a template system you can use functions that output what you need in the frame of the html page. A class would be cooler and neater.

You also may want to put your mySQL information in a separate file for security... the best security is to encrypt it but that costs money, a lot of money.
