Octopress

Several times in the past few months I have tried to add a post to this blog. But I couldn’t because of some obscure Ruby error whenever I tried to generate the blog using Octopress. There was so much friction in the simple act of adding a new post, that I finally decided enough was enough and moved the blog to Pelican.

As you’ve probably noticed I’ve modified my Octopress installation so the color theme is light and minimalistic. Since some of you wanted to know, here’s how I did it.

In this post I’ll show you how I added tag clouds to my Octopress blog.

Over this past weekend I switched my blog over from WordPress to Octopress. In this post I write about why I did it, what exactly I did to get the blog just the way I wanted, and what I plan to do in the future.
