Developing my own CMS with an integrated blogging system has been an exciting experience so far.  It's been a lot of meticulous planning and a significant development effort, combined with multiple redesigns and refactors along the way.  Recently I've been focusing mainly on developing blogging features.  The features I've finished with the last two releases include categorization of blog entries, archive functions, pagination for browsing the articles by category and within the archives, and the ability for users to leave comments on blog entries.  I've also started to focus on SEO for all aspects of the system, providing the users with the ability to enter the Meta keywords and description for each page, and adding reasonable defaults in their absence, like taking the 'parent' pages keywords and description.  The unseen pieces developed for all of those features include the administrative functions.  Anyone who uses Wordpress is familiar with the easy to use interface where you can manage any of your content.  Recognizing a usable system and developing ones have proven to be very different things.
