What were some obstacles? How long did it take? Is there anyone who has simply considered it?

I have not built forum or blog software but if I had the knowledge and skills to do so, I would jump at the chance.

It is surprising how many people are always looking for new software.

I haven't created any of the forum or blog software myself, but I have customized to some extent some open-source like phpBB.

My coding skills arent good enough. Well, I have posted some coding on this forum, but it's more like coding homework for me.

Unfortunately, I have not built forum or blog software and it's simply because I don't have the knowledge of how to get it done. Also, even if I do, I'm not sure if I could build something as good as XenForo or WordPress.

Creating a blog and/or forum software would be good for a coding resume, even if it wasn't the best software or would never become popular.

And I've thought about it, but I'm not at the level to do it yet.

I haven’t because I don't have skills. There are a lot of CMS to choose so I might never learn do build software for a blog or forum.

I wonder if people who aren't into web development think a developer built his/her sites by-hand? :D

I know a lot of developers who also use CMS to build websites. They build from scratch only when they specifically get paid to do it.

I've wondered how they get it mobile friendly. :|
