Background

This is my first blog post using pelican. I setup my github pages site sometime ago and after the first post I quickly realized that I needed a more robust management tool. Sometime ago I ran a Wordpress site and missed the capabilities offered such as categories and plugins and of course themes. I did some googling and quickly found that there are 2 major ways that people are managing personal blogs using gh-pages, Jekyll and Pelican. For me, the decision was easy. I'm a Pythonist in the making and since Pelican utilizes Python I went with it.
