Bob,

You're absolutely right. I cannot deny, nor will I argue, that Git is a great version control system. But it's a version control system. I don't need that, nor do most people writing for a weblog. If I wanted a version history of, or a record of edits, then it would be a fantastic choice.

Simple markup files transformed to HTML will do the trick for me without the extra step of creating and using a git repo.

I think it was easy for him to make use of Git. It's something he's very familiar with. I think a simple directory of markup files will do just fine.

It's just a preference. If you start using Jekyll please write about it. It may convince me to use it. I was dead set against dynamic publishing and switched to WordPress, which is really great.

Marco Arment talked a bit about Second Crack on Build and Analyze and he had some interesting ideas as well but they just didn't fit with my idea of and ideal system for me.
