Thanks for the reply Cro_Crx.
I've been leaning toward option 1, which is what you are suggesting (I assume). It seems more manageable in the long run.
For the present, there will only be one author. And yes, hopefully, there will be many more view requests than entries. Kinda a waste of time if no one reads.
The project is actually a rewrite of a site my wife has; but, I'm hoping from what I learn to grow this into a code base that I can use on a much more complex site. So, I'm putting a lot of thought into the process so I won't have to reinvent the wheel. I understand that the database is the most important part of a dynamic content site. If done wrong you can find yourself beating your head against a wall.
I think the back end is going to be the most challenging part. I want to keep it simple for the user; yet, make it's logic simple enough that I don't get lost in putting it together.
