+Blog Reboot with Pelican

+I've rebooted my blog with Pelican_! I've been wanting to refresh the look of
+my blog for some time. Blogofile_ has been very good to me, but there seems to
+be more activity in the Pelican world, including lots of nice themes. So I took
+a few evenings and played around with Pelican. After seeing how configurable it
+is and that I could easily keep the existing URLs (at least the important ones)
+from my Blogofile blog I decided to convert.
+
+I wrote a script to convert my posts to the format Pelican expected. This was
+quite easy as they both accept reStructuredText_ and mostly involved updating
+the metadata that appears at the top of each post. I found the cool `Pelican
+Bootstrap 3 theme`_ by Daan Debie.  I even submitted a pull request for it to
+update how it does pagination. This was my first pull request on GitHub!
+Achievement unlocked!
+
+I look forward to writing some more blog posts with this platform. I plan on
+updating the Fabric_ file with a command to produce a skeleton post template.
