I don't know how many of you have heard of Webby (http://webby.rubyforge.org 
) ... personally i fell in love with it as soon as i saw it, but it  
wasn't until this weekend that i got around to using it properly.

Webby is a Ruby gem by Tim Pease that enables very quick creation of  
static content websites. It's like the little sibling of Rails in a  
way. It has layouts, partials and helpers. You can write content in  
HAML, ERB, Textile or Markdown. You can use Ruby code to generate a  
site map. You can even do pagination! Webby builds everything into  
HTML files that can be deployed simply and easily to any web server.

I was so impressed with it that i made a video. In this video i create  
a 3-page website with a navigator and deploy it live in 6 and a half  
minutes!

I hope you like it!
