Site Update for 2014 #1

Update Summary

I've done a ton of stuff that ends up summarizing into a few points:

  1. Moved the site to Middleman so we can use cool things like Sprockets, middleman server, layouts, and SCSS.
  2. Reorganized the CSS into separate files that are loaded into the main source/stylesheets/application.scss file.
  3. Updated the design slightly. It includes two new fonts in the 20s-30s style (Futura and Atlas), and a few lines attempting to make a call out to the Art Deco style. There's more to come here after I find some solid steampunk resources.
  4. Updated the README to include the new information about developing on the site and deploying (which you can now do by typing bin/middleman deploy).

Awesome work and very clear PR, thanks for making it easy to review! Don't forget to take credit in the designed by section, since that'll need to get updated. Also, I'll forward you an email with some images that might prove helpful.

I like new title "Baltimore Hackathon" font, but it makes me curious if there's a version that's a little bit thinner with like 3 extra lines instead of 5. It looks good zoomed out, but it feels hard to read close up. Don't waste time on it though, I'm going to go ahead and merge and we can tinker later.

I'm going hold off on updating gh-pages till I can make a few redirect links.

Awesome stuff!
