I was so excited by reading Development Seed's post about using Jekyll and prose.io to create sites without resorting to content management systems that I jumped into Ruby. I was slowed when I dug my heels in and refused to "sudo gem install" anything, and tried to figure out how to use some keywords I'd heard -- "rvm", "Bundler" -- to do things the right way and install my project's gems locally, within the project itself. After only a brief period of frustration, the clouds parted, and I found this:

So far, so good. Thanks, Ryan!
- Also, a rbenv plug-in for making Bundler more convenient.
