See the blog post and video here: http://ericlathrop.com/2013/05/introduction-to-blogging-with-jekyll/ Use Jekyll to generate static blogs. Static web sites don't need any special server software, or databases. They're super-fast, and Jekyll gives you complete control over the output HTML. You will learn how to: * set up a HTML layout template * write a post in Markdown * build a index page with a list of posts * set up an RSS feed * extend Jekyll with plugins * host your blog on GitHub Pages
