I don't know why this got upvoted. There's nothing new added that you can't find on Jekyll wiki.

15 minutes? You've put ~20 in the actual guide! Bad form.

If anything a plugin tutorial would be what Jekyll seems to need the most. The small example on the wiki wasn't exactly helpful to me.

I guess if what Jekyll or Octopress provides out of the box they are the best choice at the moment. At least that's probably why they are so incredibly popular.

I started writing my own solution but I realized once you get past a certain point it's actually pretty hard to design something like this. And with the amount of static site generators out there it wouldn't ever have a chance to compete no matter how good it would be.

I wish it was easy to just replace the Liquid templates completely. No template inheritance irks me the most.

I guess that falls into Ruby dev and less Jekyll stuff?

Is your reply supposed to be sarcastic? I can't see the joke here. tuananh made a good point.

Note: notice who's the commenter and OP.

Jekyll was something I've been meaning to try for ages. I never found a getting started section on the wiki and this blog was exactly what I was looking for.
