Well, I've completed the first version of my blog, and the entire system is made FROM SCRATCH!! I needed a big project to work on, and I thought that giving my half-done LiveJournal system an overhaul was the perfect thing. I had a lot of fun working on it, and I learned so many new techniques and code, some of which I'll implement here on the HDTP site
Anyway, here's the link:

Creating this blog was mostly a test to see if:
a) I could make a blog system from scratch
and
b) I could create a page layout that was heavily dependent on CSS rather than hard-code or tables
Overall, I think I've succeeded. Comments work wonderfully, and after 5 posts, there'll be auto-created links to see past posts. As for the layout, its all divs with styles attached to them, so making changes to the layout is fairly painless.
The blog is a little boring now, but I'm going to add some affiliates and links on the right hand side. Check it out, and let me know what you think, please
Check it out! - .:[Matt's Blog]:.
