## What it is
Octopress is a Ruby-based framework built on top of Jekyll that provides a polished, responsive blogging theme and a set of rake tasks and plugins for easy configuration and deployment. It bundles code-embedding features, third-party integrations (Disqus, Google Analytics, GitHub repos), and community plugins for static blog publishing.

## Use cases
- set up a static blog with jekyll
- create a developer blog with code syntax highlighting
- deploy a jekyll site easily
- get a responsive blog theme for jekyll
- embed gists and code snippets in blog posts
- add disqus comments and google analytics to a static blog

## When to choose
- you want a pre-configured, nicely themed Jekyll blog without manual setup
- you blog about code and want built-in syntax highlighting and code embedding
- you prefer rake-task-driven workflows for building and deploying static sites

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - development has moved to Octopress 3.0 and this repo sees little activity
- you want full control over your Jekyll setup rather than an opinionated framework
- you need a dynamic blog with server-side features like user accounts or a database
