Drupal and Wordpress and just about any content management system will already have a web interface for creating posts of all sorts.

If you want local client application installed on your computer that can create posts and publish them to your site, try Windows Live Writer. I've used it with Wordpress and it actually works pretty well so long as you don't care about the silly markup Microsoft uses to keep things looking the way they want to.

If, however, you want recommendations regarding which of these programs to use for your website: 1) that's a bit out of scope for this site, and 2) you can't really install one of these systems without getting the whole package. There is not a way to install only part of Wordpress or part of Drupal. Of the two, I'd recommend Wordpress if all you want to do is create posts like a blog or news site.

There is some API to retrieve the posts from database or I need to do my own SQLs? – Renato Dinhani Conceição Oct 20 '11 at 18:01
Are you planning on installing one of these apps (Wordpress or Drupal)? If so your host should provide instructions on how to connect them to a database. There should be no programming necessary; just set up a database on your host, enter the information in the setup process, and voila you've got a CMS all ready to go. Wordpress, in particular, is extremely easy to set up. – music2myear Oct 20 '11 at 18:04
I already set up all these applications (except Joomla). What I want is something only to write posts, save in database and load they in my site. Not the interface, not the Wordpress site. If there is not for this, I will try Wordpress, it looked better for writing. So, the point now is: how I can get the posts from Wordpress? Direct from database or Wordpress provides an interface for doing this in a simple way? – Renato Dinhani Conceição Oct 20 '11 at 18:09
You want a system that allows you an interface where you can type up an article and publish it to your site. This is Wordpress. This is Joomla. If you want a different system or wish to code one yourself, you're welcome to do so, but why do that if there already exists systems that will do it for you and do it easily. If your concern is making it look like the rest of your site, Wordpress is very easily styled and there is extensive documentation on how to customize it. Please perform research at Wordpress.org on how to do this. – music2myear Oct 20 '11 at 19:11
