Howdy.
I have the same type of system.. Here's how it works for me:
/controlers/blog.php
Code:
class Blog extends Controller {
private $awTitle = 'awpti.org - Home of geeking, PHP and SQL!';
private $awHeader = 'awpti.org';
private $awNewsLimit = 3;
function Blog() {
parent::Controller();
}
function index() {
$data['Title'] = $this->awTitle;
$data['Header'] = $this->awHeader;
$query_news = 'SELECT * FROM awNews ORDER BY NewsID DESC LIMIT '.$this->awNewsLimit;
$data['Query_News'] = $this->db->query($query_news);
$this->load->view('blog/front', $data);
}
function about() {
$data['Title'] = $this->awTitle.' (About)';
$data['Header'] = $this->awHeader;
$this->load->view('blog/about', $data);
}
} //end class. Duh.
And.. /views/blog/front.php
Code:

Hope this blob of code helps. If you're looking for a "WHY" explanation, check out the 20 minute long blog video tutorial. It's explained fairly well.
