This is the obligatory “Hello World!” post

To get here and create your own blog using octopress, follow the instructions below:

  • Install ruby, as explained on the guide here
  • I’ve used Ruby 2.1.5p273 (2014-11-13 revision 48405) [x64-mingw32] (ruby --version)
  • Configure your blog. See here
  • Install octopress: rake install
  • Start the server with rake preview. You should see a basic template (CSS) with your blog name, the author, etcetera
  • Create your first post.
rake new_post["Hello World!"]
  • Refresh the browser and see the new post appear

  • Edit the .markdown file in “source\_posts” using a markup editor

  • Execute rake preview to see your first post (this)

  • Execute rake setup_github_pages for every computer you want to publish from

  • Execute rake generate && rake deploy. After a few minutes, you should go to .github.io to find your new blog in there

  • Happy blogging!
