Start blogging on GitHub. Its fun and easy. Here you find everything I used to create the blog http://www.interaktionsdesigner.de

You need a few things to start:

• Install Jekyll (On Mavericks this solved my install problems)
• Install Bower
• Install SASS
• Clone Repository
• Run bower install inside the cloned folder
• Run sass --watch css/sass:css/compiled
• Run jekyll serve --watch to start the Jekyll Server and let it watch for changes while developing (if that is not working, run bundle exec jekyll serve --watch)
• Visit the Blog in the browser http://localhost:4000/

Okay, its not the cleanest method, but its works. So grap the following WordPress Tables: wp_posts, wp_terms, wp_term_relationships and make it locally available.

• Run npm install in the Folder _sql_to_md.
• Update the login data in the index.js file.
• Run with node index.js from subfolder.

The script will remove(!) all files in _posts, grap the content from the database and transform it to *.md Files. Its very specialiced for my blog, but you can use it as an entry point.
