Octopress is great, but since Octopress 2 is deprecated (that is, there is no more development taking place) and Octopress 3 is not yet ready in my eyes, I decided to move to ‘plain’ Jekyll. I started from the Hyde ‘theme’ and adapted from there. All posts are here, Google Analytics and Disqus comments are working, only some minor display issues need to be fixed.
Happy so far!
