You can write your own [plugins](https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/Plugins) which consist of generators, converters, and liquid tags. Now it's much easier to hack Jekyll without forking. I expect to see some great plugins emerge from the Jekyll community, and I'll be adding my favorites into Octopress. - -## More Than a Starting Point - -I initially saw Octopress as the fastest way to get started with a fairly nice Jekyll blog, but now that Jekyll is so hackable, I'm hoping that Octopress will also become a great introduction to hacking Jekyll and a place to find great plugins from the community. - -I've already been combing through plugins that other people are writing and I've found some gems. Octopress now has: - -- **Sitemap generator** - suitable xml for submitting to search engines -- **Haml converter** - currently pages and posts can be converted, but not layouts -- **Liquid tag Github gists** - embeds gists in a noscript tag for RSS readers and crawlers, then uses Github's javascript to display gists to site visitors - -Octopress also has custom filters which work through Liquid's filtering system. I've added these for now: - -- **Smart quotes** for posts and pages -- **Title case** an adaptation of John Gruber's intelligent title capitalization script -- **Absolute urls** using '/' as a url opener for relative paths gets converted to an absolute url for RSS readers -- **Ordinal dates** dates are output like "October 5th" or "July 3rd" - -Of course Octopress still supports simple setup for Twitter, Disqus Comments, Google Custom Search, Google Analytics, Delicious Bookmarks, and now Pinboard Bookmarks. - ## Upgrading Unfortunately upgrading isn't as smooth as I would like. Some things have changed that require a bit of fiddling on your part. It's less than ideal, but if you were adverse to fiddling, you'd be using Wordpress right? @@ -44,8 +24,4 @@ If you want to keep the time-stamp data, you can now add dates to the post in th I've updated the new post rake task `rake post[title for your new post]` to correctly name new posts, and to automatically insert the time-stamp into the yaml front-matter for a new post.
