Bored About Blog jekyll

Really nothing is simpler than this winning combination.
Evil side of blogging
Jekyll is a blog-aware, static site generator in Ruby and to install it just type on your terminal:
$ [sudo] gem install jekyll
To create your first site just create a folder:
$ mkdir <folder>
$ cd <folder>
and fill it with:
$ touch _config.yml
$ touch index.html
$ mkdir _layouts
$ mkdir _posts
I watched many jekyll projects aroud the web and I decided to fork Zach for his cleaning without frippery; but I like too much orange to miss it… So I edited and filled my folder with some code and tried it with:
$ jekyll --server --auto
