The move was longer than expected but it s now done, and my former typo blog has been moved to static Webby website. Here are the elements I used to migrate:

• posts: migrate_content_to_webby.rb
• comments to discuss: export_comments.rb
• using gist to embeded code and syntax color: gist.github.com
• tags system improved from http://aaronqian.com/
• ping from avdgaag

That’s about all you will need to start a blog. Later I will work on some tasks to publish best posts to twitter or rubycorner.

should be available soon on gihub…

After 2 years of almost nonexistent posting (4 posts), I’ve moved this blog from Typo to Webby (as planned on Feb … 2008). The migration is on going, content was easy, other part of website, less. I will post later about the migration code.

Blogging from Textmate and Webby is cooool and my server says thanks.

TODO:

• migrate old comments to disqus done !
• code highlight (ultraviolet is too much to setup) (using gist)
• integrate tags (based on aaronqian.com)
• google search (could be improved)
• ping on posting (feedburner, rubycorner, etc…)

Introduction

I have often look at wikis, trying to find a nice tool for taking my notes and formating them. Have many ideas in my head, like to write them down and visualize it. Wiki is great for that but always a bit heavy to “deploy”.

Continuesly seeking for new ruby things, I heard about Webby, a lightweight web publishing system. Simply taking your pages (textile, html, erb, aso…) and generate a static website. Run Heel on it and you will have a perfect light but very powerful wiki-like web site. Extension are perfect for programming notes including graphiz and syntax highlighting.

Setup your notebook

sudo gem install webby

This will install several gems, included heel.

more coming…
