As of this post, I am using publishing Wonderland with Webby .
Some of the things I like about Webby:
- desktop based — updates are made on my laptop, giving me a wider choice of tools for writing this blog 12
- static pages — the blog site is served from Apache as pure html files, there is no requirement to run a blogging server 3
- extensible — Webby can be extended both with rake tasks and Ruby code4
1 Yes, this explains why I have not written a post recently.
2 This post was edited with MacVim.
3 I know, old school, some folks have been publishing this way for a long time.
4 Easy! A one-liner gist filter.
1 Webby::Filters.register :gist { |input| input.gsub(/gist(\d+)\./) { |s| "<script src='http://gist.github.com/#{$1}.js'></script>" } }
