I have some code for a music video site i tried to get going a while ago..

it's in rails, maybe it could help a noob get their head around rails, anyway, i'm not doing anything with it, so you can download the zip here:

(it scrapes blogs and shows what music vids the bloggers are posting -- a kinda hype machine, for music vids.)

hope it's of use to anyone.
