    I recommend you use wordpress, wordpress.org is their website, it saves writing your own. Otherwise I recommend you start learning at w3schools.

    Hi there,
    I would suggest Joomla too, as it is easy to use, and you can create your own look and feel too. AND it's free! Good luck!

    Alois, good to know that you hacking your own CMS.
    I'm doing the same for one of my sites, just for fun.

    You can take a look a this framework. It's well written
    and can be easily turned into a CMS.

    Developing a CMS can be very time confusing if you have no coding experience in the past. I am actually almost at the same situation, ironic, I have bought a domain yesterday and I am developing own CMS :p - the except is that I do this for business reasons while you do that for your own personal uses.

    There's actually no need for tutorials. Just learn PHP and MySQL well enough, and give some time to think what you should do next. There is no exact way to create your own CMS. In my CMS, I am using plugins and they all have their own positions. You can think about that.

    what is a CMS? basically it's a butt load of data stored inside of a database and put where you want it. you create an interface to add the content to your database (rather simple) via an administrator panel which you log in to. on your page, where want the information displayed, simply query the database and extract what you want then the output it to the screen. here's a tutorial for you to get you started http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/cms-php-mysql.php

    framework is basically a file or a couple files with pre-written functions to help out with specific tasks. say an ajax framework will have functions to send and receive data just by calling the function. no need to write them on your own. personally i like to write the functions myself because with a framework you get a lot of bloated code that you probably wont even use. no point in having a 50kb framework included if you only want a < 1kb function from it. you just don't need half of the stuff and in turn make the user download a bunch of crap to their machine only to use one or two functions out of say 100.

    I must say that I'm a bit surprised that you say that Joomla has so many extentions that don't work. Most of the extentions and add ons that I use have been downloaded from www.joomla.org and the (extention library) and all of them have worked alebit some need some tender love and caring sometimes. What are these special extentions that you speak of? There are over 1600 extentions to choose from and that's only one place on the net. There are also people in the joomla forum who are willing to help out building new ones.

    Have you checked the forums for answers to why the extentions don't work. The joomla forum is a very good source of help as many of the people that build those extentions hang out at the joomla forum.

    I have been running a couple of different sites with joomla without an issue. The sites in my sig are run by joomla and phpbb

    easy and complex should never be used in the sentence. lol. makes it sound confusing if you ask me. as for must use, he has more options for a cms than he is aware of. joomla, drupal, a custom cms and the list goes on. here's some open source ones if you're interested http://www.la-grange.net/cms
