Thanks for the thoughtful and thorough reply. I only recently started using Jekyll/Octopress, had I known or yours I would've checked it out at the time; but yea - I think I'll stick with Octopress for now. I do hear you though on the precompile vs github doing it -- I struggled a lot at first with the Octopress directions, especially after having read about jekyll processing support at github, to understand why it was making me precompile and put the compiled code in its own branch. Furthermore I had to modify the jekyll source to make it work the way I wanted in the end: https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/pull/337 https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/pull/337 I'm curious to see this go full-circle... Hosted Jekyll with point-and-click plugins, themes... which gives you a gui to edit your posts, and then you click to commit to github where it's generated and hosted!
