Also, a really nice mode for editting HTML/XML in Emacs is nxml-mode. I'm personally doing all my HTML with Ruby on Rails, even for static sites, I use RoR and generate static content, and for all my Rails interaction I use rinari.

Also, this is just sweet: AWS::S3 - This is a Ruby library to interact with Amazons S3 (Simple Storage Service). If you're not into S3, EC2 and SQS yet, you need to be, it's so the future.
