One-pager on Jekyll-Bootstrap migration #24

Like most folk who've set up on github pages, I've started with Jekyll-Bootstrap because that's what the github pages doco pointed me at. Stumbling upon Octopress I see this is much more copacetic with much nicer themes and so I want to migrate. The blog migrations don't cater to this probably because it's got to be a really trivial thing to do. But as a github and jekyll noob I'm having to do more experimentation and head scratching than it warrants.

A one pager in the Octopress doco explaining a good formula for migrating from JB to Octopress would be really handy. Thanks!

Cheers!

I just stumbled over a page that has a nice summary along the lines I'd wanted here - a fellow migrating from the bog github jekyll setup to OP. It's at http://joelmccracken.github.io/entries/octopress-is-pretty-sweet/
