Jekyll is fun. And, why should it not be? It provides a way for writing modular HTML with help of Yaml, Markdown and Liquid syntax. Jekyll is definitely worth giving a try!
Jekyll is a blog-aware static-site generator. It can tranform plain text into static websites and blogs. It is simple as there are no databases or security patches to take care of.
