+Jekyll is a simple, blog-aware, static site generator. It takes a template
+directory containing raw text files in various formats, runs it through
+[Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) (or
+[Textile](http://redcloth.org/textile)) and
+[Liquid](http://wiki.shopify.com/Liquid)
+converters, and spits out a complete, ready-to-publish static website suitable
+for serving with your favorite web server. Jekyll also happens to be the engine
+behind [GitHub Pages](http://pages.github.com), which means you can use Jekyll
+to host your project’s page, blog, or website from GitHub’s servers **for
+free**.
