I created a script for bash that automates creating a new post, rebuilding and deploying

~/.dotfile/blog.bash symlink in ~/bin
#!/bin/bash
#script to make blogging easier

#activate nikola
source ~/nikola/bin/activate

#create a new post
cd ~/myblog
nikola new_post -e

#build the new site
#nikola build

#deploy
#rsync -av --delete output/ ewpt3ch.com:/srv/http/ewpt3ch.com/blog/

#deactivate nikola
deactivate

simple and effective, pop open a terminal and away we go. in the future i may move the deployment into a different script so i can edit/revise before putting it up.
