Building a Jekyll blog from scratch is a lot of work. +2. Jekyll doesn't have default layouts or themes. +3. Most developers don't want to do design. -== Octopress uses +## Octopress is made of - [Jekyll](http://github.com/henrik/jekyll) a blog aware static site generator (Henrik's fork adds [HAML](http://haml-lang.com) support) - [Compass](http://compass-style.org) an awesome [SASS](http://sass-lang.com) framework. - [FSSM](http://github.com/ttilley/fssm/tree/master) + a rake task, automatically regenerates the blog as you work. - [Serve](http://github.com/jlong/serve) for live previews of the site while in development - [Rsync](http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/) for easy deployment. -= Setup -- add gem install instructions

In order to use rsync you'll need shell access to your host, and you'll probably want to use your public key for authentication. + +rake stop_serve: Kills the local web server process. + +*There are more but these are the ones you'll use the most.
