I use Octopress to manage my blogs, which rely on correct ruby gem version to work. Although Octopress use Bundler to manage the gem dependencies, sometimes a simple bundle install does not work out of box. Since everything works fine on one of my machines, I decided to replicate the exact ruby/gem setup of that machine.

Writing blogs is not a one-time thing. Maybe sometime after you posted a blog, you find a typo, or you get some feedback from your readers and want to further elaborate on some paragraph in your blog, and so on. So keep a revision history for each post is a good idea, not only for you, but also for your readers, to let them know that you're keep polishing your blogs.

This post describes the octopress-popular-posts for Octopress. Although there is one plugin that does the job, it used Google Page Rank to determine if a post is popular or not. I'd like to, however, use the page view of the post as metric.

It's always nice to display some blog stats, such as page view count, to give readers an sense how popular some site/posts are. Unfortunately, there is (or should I say 'was'?) no such plugin that does this job nicely for Octopress, so I decided to write one myself. And here comes the plugin called octopress-page-view.
