Well now it is really easy to make a block explorer, you can download bitcoind, and use the "-blocknotify <cmd>" add it to a database I would recommend using redis.

will this work if i want to put it on a webpage?

If anyone is willing to give me a tip for finding this, please redirect it to https://github.com/jtobey/bitcoin-abe#more-information he deserves it much more than I do.

Thank you very much for this. I have googled this to death and found nothing. I am going to be sending all of my .1 btc to jtobey's address in the readme. It's really not much as I just invested in a few more gpu's.Thank you again for helping me find this. I now have a weekend project!

A block explorer is really easy to do, the main problem is about CSS, but for the rest, you can walk on it without any trouble.

First : You need a full node.
Second: You have to create some classes to retreive the block hash, block number, Block timestamp, TXs in block, Total fees, total amout of TXs.
Third : You have to provide a link where the users could click on Block hash, or TX id, and retreive its informations in the page.

These are the basics of a block explorer i guess.

In order to do that, you need :

1- Fully synced Daemon (not wallet)
2- Knowledge about RPC API of the daemon.
3- Knowledge about the language you want to use, either PHP, NODEjs, or any other language (any language can be used because it is a common API that will be used).
4- Time and patience, especially if you are learning.


I suggest you to do it on your own, it is better then use a ready made project, unless you want to save time, but you own't learn much doing that.

Nice little nutshell on making a block explorer. I think abe is a pretty popular open source one.

For everyone saying how do I do it. Well, you need to learn how to program and code first 

And if building by scratch you really need to know your stuff. Thanks for everyone's input, including nemgun.
