Version 1.2 of Nikola, my static site generator and the software behind `this very site `_, is out! Why build static sites? Because they are light in resources, they are future-proof, because it's easy, because they are safe, and because you avoid lockin. New Features: * Image gallery (just drop pics on a folder) * Built-in webserver for previews (``doit -a serve``) * Helper commands to create new posts (``doit -a new_post``) * Google Sitemap support * A Handbook! * Full demo site included * Support for automatic deployment (``doit -a deploy``) * Client-side redirections And of course the *old* features: * Write your posts in reStructured text * Clean, customizable page design (via bootstrap) * Comments via Disqus * Support any analytics you want * Build blogs with tags, feeds, feeds for your tags, indexes, and more * Works like a simple CMS for things outside your blog * Clean customizable templates using Mako * Pure python, and not a lot of it (about 600 lines) * Smart builds (doit only rebuilds changed pages) * Easy to extend and improve * Code displayed with syntax highlighting Right now Nikola does literally everything I need, so if you try it and need something else... it's a good time to ask!
