Despite what you may think, I actually dislike building webpages. I find it tedious, time-consuming, and generally boring. Anything that does my work for me is good.
I've developed a few simple scripts that automate parts of the web-building process. I use these scripts for this webpage. Comments are welcome, and improvements are even better.
SKM Guestbook
A simple guestbook written in PHP. It was originally written by
a fellow named Justin. I
took his work and added some improvements.
SKM Blogger
This program is a very simple weblogging tool. There are
billions of weblogging tools on the Internet, but they all feel compelled to
use MySQL and PHP for everything. Where are the simple, easy tools that just
work with some files and can update a static webpage? Well here's one - since I
got sick of looking for them. Its written using perl/Tk - so you'll have to
download and compile that library in order to use this.
Its a pretty ugly interface, but it works darn it.
This program creates the weblog on the home page of this website.

Photo Album
A perl script that starts in the current of specified directory and recursively descends into any subdirectories - finding all photos and automatically setting up web pages that index those photos.
Some nice features include: only 10 pictures are listed per page per directory; any sub-directories found are automatically linked to; a meta file is generated that allows you to alter the order the photos appear in and the text descriptions of the pictures, CSS may be used.
