I apologise for this bit of ultra-nerd gushing, but I can barely contain my excitement.
I may be a little late to jump on the bandwagon, but I have recently discovered a great little (well not so little, actually extremely powerful) development application called Ruby on Rails.
It is open source, it is extremely powerful, and can create complex web applications easily and can turn months of development into weeks, maybe even days, depending on what you want to do with it.
I have been going through the Lynda.com (another fantabulous site that is well worth the $25US a month subscription) tutorials on Ruby on Rails development and I have to say — this is the sort of thing that is making the new web so exciting for developers. I am currently more of a PHP and Actionscript/Flash developer, but I think I might try and start incorporating Ruby on Rails a bit more. I cannot rave about this enough. These development frameworks really are on the cutting edge, and I cannot wait to see where it takes us.
I might even start experimenting with some web apps in the future… in fact I think ROR may be the exact thing I am looking for for my LinkArtistCMS. Very, very exciting.

Not being computer savvy, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Your theme is nice, though

Thanks Milo — I accidentally deleted yourcredit out of my style sheet but have now put it back in — and kept the link intact at the bottom
I’m too lazy to create my own CSS layouts so I tend to just use a template to make my own.
Tasmiya, thanks! Its finally finished now — with my FLickr photos now in their own section as well as the archives link that shows the title of every post I have ever made. I am teh hawtness!
