I'm struggling finding a satisfying taxonomy for tagging my posts here. There was even a time when I would enter them but hide from from display because of how unhappy I was with their ability to tie posts together or increasing discoverability for search engines.
That said, I was pretty intrigued when Brett recently blogged about his use of Zemanta to auto-tag posts on his Jekyll-based blog.
Since I'm not using Jekyll, however, I had to be a little more creative …

I apologize in advance for the noise; unfortunately, this is the inevitable cost of the changeover. This post is the only one that's actually new, so you can just mark all the other posts as read.

After doing the legwork in designing and building the core of the Help site in Jekyll, I worked closely with Ann and a handful of the Support team to remove their git training wheels and give them a primer on Markdown. No HTML and CSS to learn. Simply update a text file, git push it to our Help site repo, and we're off. The Support team has been writing fully-packed guides and pushing their own commits since. Fun fact: teaching them some …

I've been using Jekyll for almost 4 years now , which is long before SCSS and CoffeeScript existed. Since then, there have been a slew of plugins that build on top of Jekyll that provide everything from new "models" to an asset pipeline like Rails. I have a simple rule with how I use Jekyll:
If I need more than what Jekyll provides by default, I don't use Jekyll.
I'm super happy that people can build on top of Jekyll's "core". …

- The Majestic Sea Creature: Ruby Mendicant: Progress Report #12
It appears that if you want to specify a custom output directory with Jekyll's destination: parameter, in its _config.yml file, this destination: line should be the first line.
In my personal experience, today, this caused the creation of both a custom output dir and Jekyll's default output dir _site :
url: foobar.com
destination: foobar/
Whereas this produced only the custom output dir:
destination: foobar/
url: foobar.com

Now, I will warn you that Windows 8 definitely has a wee bit of Jekyll and Hyde going on , because it smushes together two radically different paradigms: the old school mouse and keyboard centric desktop UI, and the new school tablet and touch centric Metro UI. It can be disconcerting to get kicked abruptly from one to the other. It's different, so there's a learning curve. ( Protip: using your mouse scroll wheel in a Metro panel scrolls sideways.
