I stumbled upon <a href="http://jekyllrb.com">jekyll</a>, a "blog aware, static site generator". It can be freely hosted on <a href="http://github.com">github</a>, via github-pages. There is no database and every page and post are written in markdown (or another outlining language). The source is located in a folder on my site and are controlled via git. If you want a similar website, you can clone the <a href="https://github.com/raphaelfournier/raphaelfournier.github.com">repo</a> and look for the user-contributed <a href="https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/Plugins">plugins</a>.</p> <p>Three jekyll bloggers, among the <a href="https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/sites">others</a>, inspired me for building this site:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.pstamatiou.com">stammy</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/josegonzalez/josediazgonzalez.com">josé diaz gonsalez</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.ksornberger.com">kevin sornberger</a></li> </ul> <p>You may also have a look at other static html generators, such as pelican, nanoblogger or hyde. I have tested the first two, they were great but jekyll is better (in terms of plugins, community and the bonus of github hosting).</p> <p>The only issue I still have to figure out is how to neatly publish post in French and English. The authors of <a href="http://www.sp4ce.net/site/2011/01/15/how-to-have-a-multilingual-website-with-jekyll.html">sp4ce.net</a> and <a href="http://drivemeup.github.com/">drivemeup</a> have kind of succeeded in doing this, but I need some time to see how I can adapt there solutions to this blog.</p> <p>However, jekyll and github are really great!</p> 2011-12-30 11:59:28 +0100 http://www.raphaelfournier.net/2011/12/30/bootstrapping%3A_a_brand-new_jekyll-powered_blog/
