Not much to it. I have PHP read and write to a MySQL database. These days I use CodeIgniter for all my projects but when I coded anyway I just sat down and wrote it. It's pretty terrible inside.
When I started blogging back in 2000, I just hand-edited and re-edited an html file. Later, before I figured out the whole database thing, I wrote some PHP that read and wrote to a giant text file, if you can imagine it.
Even when I switched up to the database, Wordpress didn't really exist yet and neither did anything else. This thing where naturally you just download some off-the-shelf blog software and point your browser to install.php, old as it is, is newer than anyway. You don't know it, children, but you live in an age of leisure!
