If you are working on a draft, you can add published: false to prevent it from being posted when you generate your blog.

Blog posts are written in Markdown. Inserting a  comment into your post will prevent the post content below this mark from being displayed on the index page for the blog posts, a “Continue →” button links to the full post.

Previewing and Generating

rake generate   # Generates posts and pages into the public directory
rake watch      # Watches source/ and sass/ for changes and regenerates
rake preview    # Watches, and mounts a webserver at http://localhost:4000

What is Octopress?

Octopress is Jekyll blogging at its finest.

Octopress sports a clean responsive theme written in semantic HTML5, focused on readability and friendliness toward mobile devices.
Code blogging is easy and beautiful. Embed code (with Solarized styling) in your posts from gists, jsFiddle or from your filesystem.
Third party integration is simple with built-in support for Pinboard, Delicious, GitHub Repositories, Disqus Comments and Google Analytics.
It's easy to use. A collection of rake tasks simplifies development and makes deploying a cinch.
Ships with great plug-ins some original and others from the Jekyll community — tested and improved.

Note: Octopress requires a minimum Ruby version of 1.9.3-p0.

Contributing

We love to see people contributing to Octopress, whether it's a bug report, feature suggestion or a pull request. At the moment, we try to keep the core slick and lean, focusing on basic blogging needs, so some of your suggestions might not find their way into Octopress. For those ideas, we started a list of 3rd party plug-ins, where you can link your own Octopress plug-in repositories. For the future, we're thinking about ways to easier add them into our main releases.
