Markdown Preview in Vim
January 12, 2009
The great thing about Shinmun (the lightweight blog engine this blog is running on), is that it allows you to work on the blogposts directly in your favourite text editor, and get them online simply by doing a git push. The posts are simple markdown files, and since I never feel confident that everything will look right if I just push these straight to the blog without previewing, and don’t want to fire up a local webserver just to get a look, I went looking for a way to preview markdown files in Vim. This is what I came up with.
Brand New Biilmann Blog
January 4, 2009
After a long time of blogging inactivity I gave my Blog a brand new motor as new-years gift. It remains to be seen if a new motor will help on actually making the blog go somewhere, but at least the new look and feel will be a fresh start.
