#
# Author: Mark Nichols, 8/2011
#
# This script automates the process of creating a new Octopress posting.
# 1. The Octopress rake new_post task is called passing in the posting name
# 2. The Octopress rake isolate taks is called to sequester all other postings in the _stash
# 3. The new file is opened in TextMate
#
# This script requires two parameters:
# 1. the sub-directory under ~/Project/octopress where the weblog is located, and
# 2. the title of the new posting to be created. The title needs to be double-quote delimited as it may contain spaces.
#
# This script expects the blogs to be siblings under the same parent directory. Futher, a symbolic link of `Rakefile.rake` 
# that points to the provided `Rakefile` needs to be created.
