To begin designing our CMS we first need to decide on what data/information we need to store. We are building an Article driven dynamic website.

Data we need to store:-

Article

• title
• author
• created
• last-mod
• keywords
• link
• content

As you will notice all elements for the article are in lower-case. As we are delivering the pages as XHTML the tags must be set to lower-case.

We now need to define some rules.

• 4 Articles per page
• Display all Articles titles

We are now ready to start implementing the system, this is where the real fun begins!
