RubySlippers, the smartest blogging engine in all of Oz!
========================================================

================
[website](http://ruby-slippers.heroku.com)

RubySlippers is a git powered blog engine that aims to be simply to modify and more importantly, simple and quick and free to get a blog going. I am currently using it to run several blogs in production, you can see one in action here:

Philosophy
----------

RubySlippers is based on [Toto](http://github.com/cloudhead/toto) and aims to achieve their goals as well as our own. Hosting a ruby based free blog shouldn't be hard. We want to take that a step further and say it should be easy. Easy as pie. Easy as my best friend's Mom. Easy as a 1 click installer.

Oh yeah, MRI, bytecode whatever. If it is Ruby, it should run.

### How it works

- Article management is done with a text editor and git
* stored as _.txt_ files, with embeded metadata (in yaml format).
* processed through a markdown converter (rdiscount) by default.
* can have tags
* can have images
* can be browsed by date, or tags
* comments are handled by [disqus](http://disqus.com)
- built for easy use with _ERB_.
- built right on top of _Rack_.
- built to take advantage of _HTTP caching_.
- built with _heroku_ in mind.


RubySlippers comes with a basic default theme for you to mangle. I hope to release more themes shortly and will accept your submitted themes.
