I built the blog using jekyll, a static site generator. (http://jekyllrb.com/)

Still working on improving it but it's allowed me to dynamically generate tag and category pages as well as a few other neat things. That and it's seriously lightweight.

Is there a python equivalent of jekyll?

If it's any consolation, you wouldn't have to write any Ruby code with Jekyll. You'd only write HTML templates, Markdown/Textile, and a sprinkle of YAML.

I'd check out Pelican - http://docs.getpelican.com/en/3.1.1/

Cool. I also love the theme.

Thanks. I wanted to design something very minimal and content focused. Still a work in progress but it's getting there.
