Kicking Off

I'm working on posting my own content in its own home. CIRCA1977.com is a domain I've owned for more than 8 years now, and corresponds to my @circa1977 Twitter handle.

I've whipped up a simple little publishing system that I'm calling Dispatch. It uses PHP to parse Markdown files from the Filesystem. I'm using Markdown because I can easily write using Mou on my Mac or Textastic on my iPad, and just post the files to the server.

A simple naming convention for the Markdown files organizes things by date and generates URLs. The system also supports site pages created using Markdown.
