This looks very nice, I think I'll be using this to write my blog posts in the future. Just one whinge: Jekyll 1.0 now has support for a _drafts folder. You might want to consider using that instead of 'published'.
This looks great, I'm definitely going to give it a try. Thank you!
This is great. I started working on something very similar to this a few weeks ago. Your project is much more mature, so I may end up contributing.
If you had this as a hosted service, I'd sign my clients up for it!
So I guess "Zen" is SF-hipster for "simple" now?
wish I wasn't such a noob. good job on the typography and thanks for contributing.
Very cool.
This is awesome!

This "pop" usage of zen hurts my religious sensibilities. zen is about being a lotus in a dirt-pool.
I use a custom aspell dictionary for writing in German.
I use a word count status bar.
I use dumb vim aliases to correct "fro" to "for".
I have aliases for unicode symbols.
I have a single bash function that does the editing and push on save.
Isn't my dumb solution better than yours, for me atleast ?
WTF is so zen about full-screen ?
Why aren't you solving real problems for bloggers, getting heard in a sea of me-too's, separating advertisers(propaganda) from truth.

edit: Grammar based correction. I'd pay for that, having corrected some just now :)
I only had a chance to gloss over it but it looks great. I love the fact that it uses Jekyll and not rails like Obvtse.
Can you use Jekyll plugins?
Does it output a static website?
Is it possible to write the posts using mark down instead of the web editor?
Not so much a question but a suggestion, you should have a version of this hosted on AWS/Heroku so people can see it live.
