Best Practice for storing Blog text

Hi..

I am working on creating a blog for my site(not yet ready). Here's the idea --

I will have an 'Add a blog' page where it has a textarea and a submit button. I will write the blog in this textarea and hit submit. It will be added to the database and I will retrieve it in the actual blog page and bind it to a datalist. The blogtext even has the <br><font> tags etc... but then i'll hv to reframe the keywords with [keyword] I guess..

Is this the correct practice? Is storing blogtext in a SQL db a good idea..? Is there a better way of doing the same?

Thanks.

Sure, storing the blog data in SQL Server database is a usual thing, like the blog module in DNN. But anyway, beside of doing this funny thing, perhaps there is already (I assume so) a blog module out there for free with the source code which can be downloaded (with source code) and can be customized by yourself.

Did you have a look in www.sourceforge.net ? Once searched I found some entries, perhaps dasBlog: http://swik.net/dasBlog/SourceForge.net%3A+Project+File+Releases%3A+newtelligence+dasBlog+Community+Edition/dasblogce+dasBlog+1.8.5223.2+released+%28Mon%2C+07+Nov+2005+14%3A53%3A25+GMT%29/thr
