+ [2013-10-05T23:31:56Z] pontiki in using jekyll, you also are freer to do whatever you'd like; octopress gets more opinionated about things. which isn't necessarily bad
+ [2013-10-05T23:56:45Z] eightfold pontiki: i'm not going to use octopress, just looking for inspiration. yes, i've thought about using .page on the index page.
+ [2013-10-05T23:57:43Z] eightfold perhaps i should give it a try.. if it doesn't work i think i'll resort to the if statement solution. it will look a bit messy in the include file, but better than keeping two copies of everything i guess
+ [2013-10-05T23:58:22Z] eightfold i have 6 "post types" (audio, video, quotes, etc...), so changing code in one place seems better
+ [2013-10-05T23:59:31Z] pontiki give it a go and see, can't hurt, really

other idea is to use posts, but the problem with posts is that for some reason when publishing they do not transfer all the associated data with them
+ [2013-10-06T00:19:45Z] eightfold pontiki: heh, it seems to work
+ [2013-10-06T00:20:30Z] eightfold pontiki: so now i don't see why everybody creates the post variable. am i missing any obvious reason?
+ [2013-10-06T00:21:44Z] eightfold can i create a collision of some sort?
+ [2013-10-06T00:32:11Z] pontiki everyone just uses what's there?
+ [2013-10-06T00:32:20Z] pontiki idk, i never thought about it
