New(ish) Look Site

For those of you (well, for the person) that reads my Blogger blog (if it's called Greg's Blog at the top, that's the one) you might like to know that the blog is now located at a new home. Its got exactly the same blog posts (as its based on an RSS feed from Blogger (saves me rewriting what the guys at Blogger have written)) but its on a site I designed myself alongside a list of all the music I own and how I rate that music. What's more, its running on my (incredibly geekish thing to do) home Linux server.

The music section is probably the first bit of code on the web that I've created since the days of Easyhosts, and I'm really pleased with it. For those who are interested in HTML, PHP, the Zend Framework, Javascript, XML and JSON, I might write up how I went about creating the site. That sounds incredibly dull to most people, but to tell you the truth is the sort of thing I'd quite enjoy reading if some of my friends wrote such a thing.

Just to get one thing straight, the music section is populated by a script that takes the data from my iTunes. I'm not sad enough to manually enter the details myself, but just sad enough to write a script that does it for me..
