I haven't seen that one yet but it looks good and kinda what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!

I expected there to be many solutions for this problem but wasn't able to find a simple one.

In the end I just generated a simple "post" model and have some ugly admin interface that allows me to paste some markdown into a small box and publish it. Then I'm just using some gems for RSS feed / sitemap handling.

If you natively work with Markdown, consider the static site generation approach. It also means that your content is also source-controlled.

Basically, just convert your markdown to HTML, and dump that into your existing templates.
