This is exactly what I use for http://danieltenner.com http://danieltenner.com (well, almost - I use Webby, not Jekyll). In fact, I've made the source code for that available here, if anyone's interested:

Deploying like this has another advantage: you can deploy to a subdirectory of an existing app. The benefit of that is simple: pagerank transfers better from mysite.com/blog to mysite.com (since they are considered to be the same site) than from blog.mysite.com to mysite.com (since they are considered to be two different sites).
Edit: I should add that there is one disadvantage to this approach. If you have non-technical members on your team, and you want to encourage them to blog as well, making them learn to use Textile formatting and command line tools is not a great encouragement.
- DanielStraight 17y agoKudos on having the best interface for reading I have ever seen on a blog. Yours is the only website I've ever seen that Readability makes less readable.
- swombat 17y agoHehe, thanks :-) That was one of my tests actually, to know when the design was right - if Readability makes it better, then it still needs improvement! Of course, that hasn't stopped some people complaining about the font size... you can't please everybody I guess :-P
