[1]] Jekyll is a blog-aware, static site generator. Rather that relying on a server side scripting language and a database, as many CMS solutions often do, Jekyll allows you to quickly deploy your site to any web tree that can serve static files (perfect for the Object Store!). Jekyll provides a templating language and data format that allows you to design your site using HTML, CSS, and Javascript and then render in the site's content. This separation of design and content allows for easy editing and reuse of your own custom desgin templates and those made by others. When ready to update the content, Jekyll compiles your templates and content files into full HTML!
A great example of a Jekyll-generated site is the UMIACS Intranet page!
