This is my blog. You can read it at http://samsoff.es.

It's running on Jekyll (blog-aware, static site generator) on Sinatra with Markdown.

I used a lot of ideas from Tom Preston-Werner, Tom Ward, and Alex Payne. I also used the technique for running Jekyll on Sinatra from Jesse Storimer's blog.

Feel free to use anything here except my posts without asking.

Running Locally

Be sure you have all of the gems required by running

gem bundle

To start, run rake jekyll:auto in one tab, and rake server in another.

This will start the server at http://localhost:9393/.

You will probably want to Compass in watch mode as well. Run this command to have Compass watch the sass directory. You'll need to restart the server each time you change a sass file though (which sucks, I know).

rake compass:watch

Running rake jekyll will remove the Jekyll cache and rebuild it. You can read Rakefile for more information.
