How To Use Calepin, the Easiest Blog Tool in the World

I just fell in love with Calepin. It's a blog­ging tool that gives you an instant, min­i­mal web­site using two of geeks' favorite lit­tle helpers: Drop­box and Mark­down. It is nerdy, but only a lit­tle bit, and I'll talk you through the whole thing. By the end of this short tuto­r­i­al, I bet you'll want one.

First, you need an account. Go to Calepin.co and reg­is­ter your user name. It's early; you can prob­a­bly get what­ev­er you want. Next, log in with Drop­box. Calepin will cre­ate a fold­er in your Drop­box that it will watch for text files writ­ten in Mark­down. When you click the big 'Pub­lish' but­ton on the Calepin site, it will pub­lish all the doc­u­ments as a blog at [user name].calepin.co. Here's mine, for exam­ple. The blog's appear­ance is spare and relax­ing. It's a great place to just stick your thoughts up on the Web. Don't know what a Drop­box or a Mark­down is? Don't worry. You'll quick­ly get the gist........
