CMS is just a term for fancy text editor. I would check around to see
if you can just find an off the shelf product and play with it. There
is usually no reason to reinvent the wheel unless it is going to
outperform your current competitors. Drupal (my current punching bag)
can take a beating and then some and is flexible enough to allow you
to customize it to your content. Now I don't want to discourage you
from learning about the inner workings of a fancy text editor because
it is good knowledge to have but keep in mind that the time you spend
reinventing the wheel could be spent improving the current wheel which
is already stable and works (and has a good support base).

I think your first step is to define what a CMS is, at least for
your purposes, and why the existing open source wheels need to be
reinvented again. From an ERD perspective, I'd design the data
store to be polymorphic which the application would aggregate as a
set of nodes defining a blog article, a comment, a forum post, etc.
