Jekyll Blog Generator
Tom Preston-Werner’s Blogging Like a Hacker should be an inspiration while learning Jekyll. Also, Basil Shkara’s Overview of Jekyll is informative, as it lists reasons why one might want to use Jekyll, some trouble you will want to watch out for, and a lesson on getting started with Jekyll.
Jekyll is a simple, blog aware, static site generator. It takes a template directory (representing the raw form of a website), runs it through Textile or Markdown and Liquid converters, and spits out a complete, static website suitable for serving with Apache or your favorite web server. This is also the engine behind GitHub Pages.
