Default Is blogging software necessary?

Howdy all,

I'm looking into setting up a blog for my new site (see my signature).

As I understand it, a blog is just some small articles, organised into categories, with usually a few of the most recent posts displayed chronologically.

I have strong programming skills, and was just considering setting up my own 'blog' using mysql and php. My question (getting to the point) is:

Are there other functions of blogging software/platforms that I am missing? What else do they do? Or are they just "MS Word' for the net? Why are they necessary?
