It only seems to be happening on one blog post with console and ruby highlighting, but my guess is that it's the ordered list items that are conflicting with the liquid tags. The list items have paragraph tags within which might also be contributing to the issue. Is that Kramdown causing the problem?

Example: http://ben.balter.com/2013/06/26/how-to-convert-shapefiles-to-geojson-for-use-on-github/

Great post, by the way.

Hobbyists and large corporations, great technical skill to operate, most dont see consumer need, etc.

The .gov tracker, as linked on http://ben.balter.com/2011/09/07/analysis-of-federal-executive-domains/, looks like it may be in trouble. There's a vicious error message from cloudflare, something about how I'm not supposed to be on the internet.

Hope that the tracker comes back. It's damn useful.

:) Congratulations!

Well sorta.

An interesting micro-site – it seems very much more aimed at people who know BLS data already, and much less aimed at coders. The FAQ answers the question "What is an API?", but doesn't even have a list of the IDs required in order to get any data whatsoever out of that API. It does however point to this page which is helpful, if not comprehensive: http://www.bls.gov/help/hlpforma.htm

Jekyll -> content

If there's one thing the internet does well, it's initially trying out many, but effectually settling on one design pattern. (IP, HTTP, etc.)

Crawl: add .json to any URL

Walk: Refresh most used admin pages using admin_ajax.php?action=update_post

Run: Redirect POST [post].json to admin_ajax backend.
