I think there are free scripts out there for doing this (googling for article directory script is your friend).

If you want to build it up from scratch you should learn the programming languages of the web - HTML, CSS, Javascript and then a language for the backend - PHP, ASP or Java Server Pages.


Hope that gives you a first hint.

Are you looking to build this site from scratch or are you trying to build the site using plugins and scripts?

Whenever someone says they want to duplicate the site, I would check out the requirements of the site they want to copy, and ask a few questions to myself. (this is for building it from scratch)

How is the site situated? How are the links organized? When submitting articles, what data is collected? Do you want something to happen in the background when submitting articles? - Do you want to notify any services or google?

I would start building out the database based on the Forms that were on the site. I would then start building out the html pages for the user interface, and then I would build out the actual behind the scenes functions like storing the data, publishing articles, etc.

At least that's how I would start ...
