I recently started looking for a markdown powered blogging platform to host my site[0]. I wanted to be able to write markdown documents, arrange them in directories, and then have a site built from that. Also, I am not a designer so I would like it if there were premade themes out there. I settled on using Pelican[1] for generation and Github Pages[2] for hosting. Pelican does exactly what I wanted, and there is a collection of free community created themes that look great. Github Pages is absolutely free hosting that even supports custom domains. It might take a little more hacking than Silvrback, but I have been slowly working on a git repo that anyone could simply clone, populate with markdown files, and then push. I need to clean up the few scripts a little, but if you want you can find it here[3] [0] http://jack.minardi.org http://jack.minardi.org [1] http://docs.getpelican.com/en/3.2/ http://docs.getpelican.com/en/3.2/ [2] http://pages.github.com/ http://pages.github.com/ [3] https://github.com/jminardi/jminardi.github.io https://github.com/jminardi/jminardi.github.io
