  • Middleman provide many tags and properties for your blog, if you want to organize, you can open config.rb and organize these, and see.
  • If you want to organize style for blog, you should write in stylesheets and javascript directories, with CSS3 and Jquery ;)
  • If you don’t want to use .html.erb files, you can translate to .html.haml in html2haml.

And use this.
