Welcome to my new blog

• Author: Wael Nasreddine

Welcome to my new blog, I just setup a new design and I’m using a new system, I no longer want dynamic pages for my blog, it requires a lot of resources to serve quasi-static contents, so what I’m using now is Jekyll which is a small application written with ruby, and uses Maruku to parse text files written in Markdown.

What’s really special in this design is the combination with Git which makes publishing the site a peace of cake, So in order to make a blog post now, all I have to do is to write a text file using my Ever-Favorite-Beloved-Godess editor ViM, commit it to git and push it to the master repository and voilà, the post is already up on my server..

I will make a detailled tutorial in another post, but for now I will be working on importing all my old posts back from the dead, they are already taken from the database into text files but they need some tweaking as Wordpress usually have bad HTML written in the posts and hence Maruku has a bad time understanding the posts..

Anyway stay tuned for the return of my contents, now I know VHCS guys will complain about changing my blog and all the link again, so I moved VHCS to github, read more in vhcs.sh page.

You can open a ticket over at my Redmine. As this is free software the response time can vary.
