Octopress is a framework designed for Jekyll, the static blogging engine powering Github Pages. So what is Jekyll?
Octopress is a framework designed by [Brandon Mathis](http://brandonmathis.com) for Jekyll, the static blogging engine powering Github Pages.
{% blockquote Jekyll Wiki https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/Usage %}
Jekyll at its core is a text transformation engine. The concept behind the system is this: you give it text written in your favorite markup language, be that Markdown, Textile, or just plain HTML, and it churns that through a layout or series of layout files. Throughout that process you can tweak how you want the site URLs to look, what data gets displayed on the layout and more.
{% endblockquote %}
## What's new in 2.0?
Short answer: Everything. Octopress is now based on [mojombo/jekyll](http://github.com/mojombo/jekyll) has been completely rewritten from the ground up with a mountain of goodies.
Be sure to check out the [documentation](/docs) to get the full scoop.
