I really like Octopress, which is built on Jekyll. You can read a lot of articles about the advantages and disadvantages of pre-baked blogs, so I won’t bore you with those details. Instead, I’ll bore you on the subject of the one feature I miss with pre-baked blogs: scheduling posts for later publication.
If you happen to have setup a Jenkins or some other CI, that might be a convenient place for scripts like that to live.
I don't, but I appreciate the reminder, and it certainly fits. I suppose my Rackspace VM is my integration box right now.
Hehe. Look like they finally merged it, huh? :)
I really like the thinking here, but man, I'm just not sure it's worth it for me over something like wordpress. The fact of the matter is, I'm not going to be the only only one blogging on the site i'm currently putting together. I would LOVE to use octopress, but I just don't think the rest of the team is going to go for it, especially without the publish on future date feature readily available.
Thanks for the writeup!
And I didn't even notice! Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'm a contributor now!
With Heroku, it's now simpler: Heroku has an Octopress buildpack and now Heroku can `generate` instead of having to do that with a middleman server. Combine this with a scheduled job and off you go! Would that work for you?
Ooh, back to the drawing board. It just might, my only other obstacle is getting people to be willing to actually use git. They're not dev dork types... this is probably the real challenge. Wish me luck!
