Has anyone actually written a blog in PHP? If yes do you use frameworks? I am a beginner in PHP, but have developed in PHP... not sure if I should dive into frameworks just yet. I would like to build a personal blog my self using PHP j开发者_运维问答ust to use the skills and knowledge that I know, but don't know where to start

I (along with most of the PHP community) have created many PHP blogs, some with and some without the aid of a framework. I think you shouldn't start with a framework and you definitely shouldn't confuse yourself with the complexities of Wordpress.
I believe in understanding before implementing. First learn how to code a blog from scratch. Once you understand and can code this, then learn a framework (such as CodeIgniter, CakePHP, Kohana). The framework will speed the development process up quite a bit, and after having to code everything from scratch you will truly be able to appreciate the benefits of a framework. With your deep understanding, you will also be able to expand on your blog's functionality.
Some may argue that I am proposing that you run before you walk. But I argue that if you walk with a crutch from the start, you will never be able to run or even walk on your own.

A blog is the demo app for virtually every PHP framework out there. Tens of thousands of people have written blogs in PHP. Some 30 million people also run their blogs on WordPress, which is written in PHP.

Okay, well first of all, writing a good custom CMS system is hard. I would first recommend you to make a Wordpress blog and a custom theme, then try Movable Type, then try to create you own using Cake PHP if you feel like it. If you really want to code it yourself, Good Luck.
