Yes, that checkbox idea is exactly what I was thinking about. Exept I have
no idea how my program would tell one checkbox from the other, and delete
the wrong thing...

Your specific question of "how to delete" I am sure other will provide,
but consider this idea.

If you have a page that shows blog entries, then why not have an admin
page that shows exactly the same thing except if has check-boxes next to the
posts? And, if you check any of those and click "Submit", then those entries
will be deleted from the database -- simple, plus you already have most of
the code. :-)

I had a similar problem and was designing an admin page that would do the
things I wanted (add/delete/alter items) when it dawned on me that all I
needed was a check-box and a submit button added to my main display page.

As to how to delete and such, you may find this useful:
