Redesign... Again.

I wrote a static blog generator after listening to one of the episodes on Marco Arment's Build and Analyze podcast.
Basically, a script runs on your laptop or the server, which takes a folder full of markdown-formatted text files, processes them with a markdown parser and spits out a static version of your site, ready to upload or serve.
My script runs on the server and creates md5 hashes of every .md file in a folder and compares it to the hashes it has on file. If they're different, it regenerates the modified or new posts.
It does this every minute. The idea is that I can upload a new post file from anywhere, wait one minute and my post will be up on my site.

So I'll try this system out and see how it goes.
