Is it possible to write scripts for blender? If so, where can I find some information on this?
Check the forum marked Python and Plugins 
if you read the forum correctly, you would find Python & Plugins couple of Forum rows down from News & Blender, not all questions should be placed here in News & Blender, go here http://blenderartists.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=11 …and check/search better next time!
