I'm a bit unclear. Do you use a makefile instead of Jekyll/Octopress? Or somehow in combination with it?
Yes, I do remember that years ago I read about a static web management system that was makefile-centric, but think it lost popularity as more advanced CMS's came out.
Also I have trouble thinking about how a makefile can help you manage the 'Prev' and 'Next" attributes on a page. This is, not only make HTML from the page I just generated, but also go back to the previous writeup and update it to add a 'Next' link to it.
I like the idea of Octopress and Jekyll, but the few times I've tried them, it seems that they don't easily scale. My blog has over 2900 entries. Build from scratch. chug chug chug That I understand. Now add a new entry and try to get an incremental rebuild in less than 30 seconds.
