After a couple hesitating months to move to github pages, and from my hacked together static site generator, yesterday was my 4th attempt in getting started with github pages blogging, just because there where a few annoyances with the different variations I've tried.
Decided to go with Octopress, just for their nice logo. And for their Github pages oriented focus. That didn't pan out, but at least I learned a few things about their blogging process and setup, which I'm adapting for sculpin.
