    The first one I built was in about 2002, and I just used a hacked email subscription php script to amend flat text files. Even then it was a right bind to learn to clean inputs, preserve formattings, upload and deal with files and pictures and users logging in with permissions and hack-proofing this and that. It was awkward and far too much work considering the end result that the client was never entirely happy with. It might be a useful exercise, but as a way of producing something that can do its job, you're looking at putting in hundreds of hours to even compare with even a basic open-source offering, of which there are dozens.
