guide: migrating from Jekyll to Assemble

[nschonni]

Feature request/documentation example/helper 😄

It would helpful to have a simple migration path for project currently using Jekyll to just be able to npm install assemble and have a few simple steps to convert the project to Assemble.
Not sure if this would just require a "Jekyll" engine option, but I thought I'd ask if this was a use case you had considered.

Yeah this is a good idea. I think we should go a step further and do a migration guide. As @hariadi pointed out, I created a proof-of-concept grunt task that will convert a limited set of liquid templates to handlebars, but I think it would be nice to help users just get up and running "the right way" with Assemble.

I'll try to get something started

here is a start.. this is a WIP:

• https://github.com/upstage/assemble-blog-theme
• http://upstage.github.io/assemble-blog-theme/index.html

I decided to do a blog theme first, then write about it to show users how to get started.

fyi I changed the issue name for clarity

also, sorry for how long this has been sitting here. I still want to do something for this though!
