<p>I am trying to set up Pelican here.</p> <p>Edit: The setup process was so much easier than Octopress that I could complete manual migration in less than half an hour.</p> <p>Thanks to the plugins and theme support, everything that a blogger might need is simply <em>battery included</em>.</p> <p>So here is a list of resources that I found indispensable:</p> <ol> <li> <h2>Octopress theme</h2> </li> </ol> <blockquote> <p>The readablity and functionality offered by this minimalist theme is brilliant.</p> </blockquote> <ol start="2"> <li> <h2>Social Media Integration</h2> </li> </ol> <blockquote> <p>The configuration files <em>pelicanconf.py</em> and <em>publishconf.py</em> have ample variables for linking with the popular social media platforms - Facebook, Twitter, G+.</p> </blockquote> <ol start="3"> <li> <h2>Google Analytics</h2> </li> </ol> <blockquote> <p>Open Source bloggers can use this to track hits and get visual visits-with-time feedback.</p> </blockquote> <ol start="4"> <li> <h2>Markdown</h2> </li> </ol> <blockquote> <p>I like this typesetting format for multiple reasons - touchtyping friendly characters, frugal use of tags, expressiveness, and the LaTeX-like non-WYSIWYG nature.</p> </blockquote>
