Jekyll • Simple, blog-aware, static sites | Transform your plain text into static websites and blogs

Transform your plain text into static websites and blogs.
No more databases, comment moderation, or pesky updates to install—just your content.
Markdown, Liquid, HTML & CSS go in. Static sites come out ready for deployment.
Permalinks, categories, pages, posts, and custom layouts are all first-class citizens here.

~ $ gem install bundler jekyll
~ $ jekyll new my-awesome-site
