create a blog with coldfusion

[namtax]

hi

i am looking to create a blog on my website, and am thinking its best to put all my entries into a database, so I can allow for comments on entries etc..

However, I am aware that blogs often contain images and alternating design, and wondered how to accomadate this considering all my blog entries will be held in the database.

For example, if I was to create all my blog entries free hand directly onto the page, I could align my images where I like etc, whereas I wouldnt have this freedom if outputting all my blog entries from a database..

e.g

<cfoutput query="blog">
<p>#blog entry</p>
</cfoutput>

would it be viable to set out the way I would like the blog entry to look free hand first, and then post all code into the database, including code for images etc..

just wonderin how others do it..

thanks

I'd suggest using Ray Camden's BlogCFC. http://blogcfc.riaforge.org/

It's robust and continually updated.
