It's the first time I see github's Readme's being used as a blogging tool. Is this common? I've started to link to a Vagrant/Ansible repo for my setup / code intensive posts, but having the code and the text encapsulated as a repo is quite novel.

I've been using github pages as a blogging tool since it makes linking between various posts easier but if you're primarily writing about code this may be even better since the code is easily accessible.

Thanks. Markdown provides most of the formatting needed so it seemed like a good choice to quickly publish a tutorial without setting up a blog.

It's a neat idea, but be aware that you're hosting your words on someone else's platform. Annoy the wrong person, and it could all go away.

At least it's a git repo so you should have local copies, but still, that caveat applies.
