When I write, I use markdown, so setting up a simple blog using wintersmith was a no-brainer.

Quick-start
First install wintersmith using npm:
$ npm install wintersmith -g
This will install wintersmith globally on your system so that you can access the wintersmith command from anywhere. Once that is complete run:
$ wintersmith new <path>
Where <path> is the location you want the site to be generated. This creates a skeleton site with a basic set of templates and some articles, while not strictly needed it's a good starting point.
Now enter the directory and start the preview server:
$ cd <path>
$ wintersmith preview
At this point you are ready to start customizing your site. Point your browser to http://localhost:8080 and start editing templates and articles.
When done run:
$ wintersmith build
This generates your site and places it in the build/ directory - all ready to be copied to your web server!
And remember to give the old --help a look :-)
