   $ open http://localhost:4567
   

5. Check out the existing articles for an example of how to write a blog post. Make note that you can add a tag to the article using the 'tag' setting at the top of an article. See http://middlemanapp.com/basics/blogging/#toc_1 for more information about adding dates and tags to each article.

11. Push your changes back to Github for safe keeping

    $ git push origin master
