Upmystreet, including upmystreet in my blog, and upmystreet in Folkestone.
Blog / forum etc:
I use it for everything, it's well recommended. I'm sure prototype is good now too, but jquery is tiny, and does everything you need, and the code you write with it is tiny too. I have got really into the way you select things to do things to too. As I say I use it for everything at work (though I've not brought all my code on this site up to date with it yet), that as much of a recommendation as I can make. Also there are loads of people writing extensions for it, and it's easy to write extensions yourself.
I am doing a training course in it at work, something I only just found out this week, for the other developers. Before this, I'm going on a course to be taught how to run a training course too, bit odd...
I'll email you this stuff too, but check out jquery.com and visualjquery.com for documentation. There's at least one book out about it now, but you can get all the documentation you need online.
I filter out html in posts here now, you can use bbcode or a wiki type hybrid that I favour. Here's a link back to upmystreet.com that you missed out on earlier...
BTW I'm doing my own geocoded feed of pubs and things now, to celebrate this yeah we should meet up for beers soon. Clare is off to Nice with Emma in two weeks, that would be a good time for me, say Friday the 21st? I can't really have any time off so it'll have to be Friday or Saturday, I can come to London or you can come down here.

What's your postcode saying behind your back? Mine's not being very complementary at all:
Incomes are quite low. People have average educational qualifications. Their relatively routine jobs are in shops and offices, and there is some unemployment. With the elderly contributing to higher than average numbers of people with long term illnesses, these areas are beginning to experience some need for social services.
While the younger people aspire to gold cards, interactive TV and telephone banking, the reality is they have low limits on their credit cards, plan to pay off debts, and possibly need a loan. Their spending on food is low, and catalogue shopping helps them economise. Few people own a car, with those who do paying high insurance premiums. Most get about on foot, by bike, or public transport.
The pub is a relatively popular place for eating, either at lunch-time or in the evening. Leisure interests tend to be football and betting on the horses. At home they might unwind by listening to music or reading a novel. There is a keen interest in self-improvement and education.
Pah, this is what they said about Notting Hill! This could probably do with a bit of attention, "there is a keen interest in self-improvement and education" because there is a college and a language school at the end of the road. The pub thing is probably just profiling, but they could add in "they have to walk quite a long way to the pub, so their feet probably hurt", it is you know...

i dont have an answer to your q (sorry) but was wondering what you make of jquery? i've just started a new project for upmystreet and we're using prototype/scriptaculous but just had a look at the jquery site and it looks quite neat.
when are we going for beers?
