In this third article of the series, I’ll show you how the database and directories should be set up. I’ll also talk about the how to create, install, and use a content block, which mostly relies on arrays and array functions. I’ll cover proper authentication methods for such a project so that multiple sites can run off the same users table in the database, while not barring a username from being used on a site because it is being use on another, all the while keeping the authentication accurate and secure from break-ins.

Don’t think I have anything to add to this one.
