I've been having problems caused by the amount of comment and trackback spam I have had in this blog, so I've decided to write my own blog software. I'm also doing this as an exercise in refreshing my PHP skills as I've not used it for a couple of months ans wanted to do some more object-oriented programming in PHP.

I've not moved all of the content across to this new system yet - just the 8 most recent entries in the blog. I plan on getting RSS, tags and comments working over the next week. Hopefully this will make a significant improvement to the load on the server.
