Jekyll is a blog-aware, static site generator written in Ruby.

It takes a template directory (representing the raw form of a website), runs it through Textile or Markdown and Liquid converters, and spits out a complete, static website suitable for serving with Apache, the built-in WEBrick server or the web server of your choice. This is also the engine behind GitHub Pages, which you can use to host your project’s page or blog with GitHub.

Jekyll also offers a way to customize it via plugins written in Ruby.
