Seems like a common sense design, no complaints, but it's funny to notice how the wider our screens become, the narrower the sites get.

That's no surprise to me - monitors are so ridiculously wide these days that it's impossible to ignore the need to limit the length of a line of text. When you're working at 1680x1050 you can kinda ignore it, but with 1920 or more horizontal pixels, text needs to be broken up into columns, and you've also got enough horizontal space to have two windows side-by-side without feeling cramped.

I started using pelican recently and I really enjoy static site generation. It's amazing how little needs to actually execute server side (blog content in a database?) It's also much easier to focus on writing when I don't have shiny objects distracting me.

As a member of the Pelican dev team, I think I speak for all of us when I saw we were thrilled to see such a high-profile site running on Pelican. The folks at kernel.org were even kind enough to mention it on their new site: https://www.kernel.org/pelican.html

Those of us in the #pelican IRC channel had a rousing cheer and virtual clinking of the glasses. :^)

If anyone has questions about Pelican, please feel free to ask here or on our IRC channel.

Edit: And if you're going to PyCon in Santa Clara, CA this month, hit us up on Twitter (@getpelican) to get info about our pre-PyCon meetup.

I knew I saw this design somewhere else: http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2009/08/04/designing-a-ht... Granted, it's not "complicated" but it's also the same colors... Edit: Smashing Mag is mentioned on Pelican blog: http://blog.getpelican.com

At least they give him credit: https://www.kernel.org/theme/css/main.css

Pelican's default theme includes explicit thanks, and a link, in the footer of every single page -- which is certainly more noticeable than attribution inside a CSS file.

I wish it were a more mainstream thing. It's impossible to compromise a statically generated website (discounting webserver/OS level vulnerablities). It's significantly more secure then Wordpress running tons of plugins

Congrats! Pelican is a great software. Use it together with Github-pages and you do not need any hosting space for your blog/site.

Any guides on making a pure "portfolio" sort of page, no blog whatsoever? All of the examples that I have seen have a blog component. I am just looking to make some basic header/nav/content/footer type templates. Thanks for your work on Pelican! I found it two days ago while looking for a static site generator and I was excited to see it mentioned in the news.

Hm... seems like there's no way to download a tarball in cgit, but I'm not sure if this functionality was enabled in kernel.org's gitweb either.
