Not knowing Middleman, I initially read the title (currently "Three Middleman Hacks We’re Using On This Site") as "Three Man-in-the-Middle hacks We're Using on This Site.

Risky click!

Oh, I hadn't thought about the potential for confusion! Curious to know if that's how most people will parse it…

It is how I parsed too.

For some reason I read it as "Mediterranean" first, but by the time I got the visual buffet of Mediterranean dishes and trying to cope with one hacking such a thing, I also began to see it as MITM hacks.

This isn't a big deal, but the assignment in `featured = featured.delete_if...` isn't necessary since delete_if mutates the array.

Same. I got super excited to learn about some fresh MITM goodness. Middleman looks interesting as well, though. :)

Good point, thanks for the correction.

This is a great post. 2014 is the year of static sites (and generators)! Lots of great resources popping up.

Full disclosure, I work on Harp and I'm judging Static Showdown.
