Yes, please post your code.

And be wary: Blogs and forums are a bit difficult to gt working in a hurry.

hm you need more dynamic technology than html

phpbb is free, drupal and joomla are also free, php+mysql technology

You can't exactly turn those in as a school project though But good references, no doubt.

Also, a forum or a blog will take more then just PHP/HTML. You will also need MySQL and possibly JavaScript/AJAX/CSS/etc. This one might not be good for a school project unless you already have a start in the required languages. (And, as Shotgun_ninja said, they take a lot of time to create.) If you can code it, though, it should be a definite "A."

that is not technically correct, you can create/edit flat html files, using just PHP, however it wouldn't be very dynamic


On a side note... I would suggest thinking of a new project since your teacher/professor doesn't know how to code one him/herself (by your previous post)

That would almost be harder, in my opinion-- unless you are not actually using proper HTML (i.e. no html, head, or body tags). But, I guess it all depends on your perspective, so point taken.
