Octopress is a framework designed by [Brandon Mathis](http://brandonmathis.com) for [Jekyll](http://github.com/mojombo/jekyll), the blog aware static site generator powering [Github Pages](http://pages.github.com).
|
|
To start blogging with Jekyll, you have to write your own HTML templates, CSS, Javascripts and set up your configuration. But with Octopress
|
|
All of that is already taken care of. Simply [clone or fork Octopress](https://github.com/imathis/octopress), install dependencies and the theme, and you're set.
