In general, I would do it more or less like this:

1. Create a 'Blogs' SQL database table.
Create an 'id' column (primary key), and columns for fields like 'blog_date', 'title', 'author', and 'html_content'.

2. Create a 'Blog' class using php.
Create properties which correspond to the SQL fields in your 'Blogs' table, including 'id'.

3. Create public 'loadFromDB()' and 'saveToDB()' methods
These methods should load and save the SQL values of a row in 'Blogs' (selected by id) to and from the class properties.

4. Create a public 'view()' method for the 'Blog' class
This is simply an HTML view/template of a single blog entry displaying date, title, author, etc.

5. Create an 'index.php' blog page in a folder on the server
You want to use this page to display a single blog entry.
Use a blog's SQL id when calling this page from links in your main blogs page, for example via http GET: 'http://www.yoursite.com/blogs/blog/index.php?id=30'.  In your php code inside index.php, where you want the entry to appear, do something like this:  

$id_default = 27;  // the blog entry which must appear when there is no query parameter
$id = empty($_GET['id']) ? $id_default : $_GET['id'];
$B = new Blog($id);
$B-&gt;loadFromDB();
$html = $B-&gt;view();
echo $html;


In this way, you don't have to create an HTML page for EVERY blog entry, or put ALL the entries on one page.  You can just use one page created dynamically with a GET parameter instead.

Obviously there is more you can/must do, such as creating commenting displays and forms and a 'Comments' SQL table, etc.  But this should give you some ideas.

Using PHP to dynamically create pages from a template
If I have a list of key values from 1 to 100 and I want to organize them in an array of 11 buckets, I've been taught to form a mod function

$$ H = k \bmod \ 11$$

Now all the values will be placed one after another in 9 rows. For example, in the first bucket there will be $0, 11, 22 \dots$. In the second, there will be $1, 12, 23 \dots$ etc.

Let's say I decided to be a bad boy and use a non-prime as my hashing function - take 12.
Using the Hashing function

$$ H = k \bmod \ 12$$

would result in a hash table with values $0, 12, 24 \dots $ in the first bucket, $1, 13, 25 \dots$ etc. in the second and so on.

Essentially they are the same thing. I didn't reduce collisions and I didn't spread things out any better by using the prime number hash code and I can't see how it is ever beneficial.
