Thanks Axel, I have been working today like crazy to update it to 2.0 and
fix some minor issues with the 1.3.x version.

It depends a lot on what you want, I don't want most of my sites to become
visible on the LAN :-)

Ditto. I use XML for the content, and parse and process it with Perl into
HTML. All things that the Perl script can solve it does (like finding out
the values for width and height attributes for the img element).
Another script creates the RSS feed (it extracts the title from the page,
and uses it as the title for the feed, etc.).
And another script uploads the stuff using plink (part of PuTTY).
And all is kicked into action using ant :-)
ant local to update the local version
ant upload to update the local version, and the remote one :-)
