[This is a cross-post from wduyck.calepin.co while I get my bearings on how to use/if I like calepin.co.]
Okay… so I have been toying with this idea for a while since I noticed that Paul Rouget does his blog using some simple scripts (well at one point… I don’t know about now). “This…” I thought to myself, “…is a great way to do a simple blog!” No need for complex systems that can go wrong… just a little markdown or what have you, something to get it on the web… and if you want it to look nice… something to convert that into html.
I recently took to using todo.txt for my todo list. There are a number of benefits I have already noticed and the biggest is that it just works. I have the bash script and the todo list in my dropbox so that I have access anywhere! I even added a simple line to my .bashrc file to show my todo list whenever I open a terminal… which is quite often 
Okay… that is all for this first post… I am going to cross-post this to my wordpress blog for now however if things go well, and calepin works well… I might make the switch permanent (well… for the little things).

It outlines using ifttt, which triggers off of the calepin feed changing, and then posting to WordPress via remote atom publishing.
