there isnt much point in starting from zero, have a look at:
1. codeextinguisher http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/79842/
2. inktype http://www.inktype.org/

both ci powered, codex is more "barebone", inktype is pretty much a ready blogging system

That is not a post for this section.

You should post that into codeigniter code and application dev.
