Making a online log

I just leased a domain name and some server space. I'm learning ruby on rails and I took the domain so that I can put my projects online.

However, there is still some time left to go for a good project on rails to be completed. In the meantime I want to document my daily progress, as in what all new did I learn about web development on a given day.

I would want to host online (on that same domain) a temporary log so that I can log what I'm doing. I can use Wordpress or some other popular blogging platform but I would really want to put use something which I can make and learn in the process.

Is there a publishing platform out there which just provides a base you can build on? preferably in RoR or php? I would really want to lea开发者_Python百科rn from this exercise so if anyone has any suggestions or any resources to point it, I'll be really grateful.

Thanks

Why don't you build your own small blog? Have a look at this: create a blog from scratch using RoR

have a look at arailsdemo which will teach you to build a blog and get it online in under a few hours - it's quite easy

Why not install wordpress which will supply you with a good starting point. And build a theme and plugins over it using their API.

The wordpress codex is a starting point, but there are plenty of other resources on the net.
