Ruby on Rails Markdown Blog

Disclaimer: The repo is no longer maintained as I migrated my blog to Middleman as it barely has any dynamic content and fails to justify its deployment costs. Also, having my blog posts under version control seems much more convenient than having them in a database. Still you can review the code and use any part of it for your own Rails blog.

This is the source code repository for my digital space www.ralin.net. The website contains some information about me, social links and my blog. It is built using open source software and tools like Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL. Its source code is completely open and any part of it can be used for any purpose.
