Hello, world.

Octopress goodness. In true coding fashion, I had a bit of trouble creating my first post thanks to an error with Rake.

Specifically, when I typed the command $ rake new_post[“Hello world”], I was greeted with the error: You have already activated rake 10.1.0, but your Gemfile requires rake 0.9.2.2. Using bundle exec may solve this.

After a bit of sleuthing around, I tried a few scenarios to fix this error, namely here. However, this work around required that I USE rake. /facepalm
There’s a better fix! In the gemfile, I deleted ‘~> 0.9’ from the Rake gem. Then I went into the gemfile.lock file, searched for Rake, and changed the number 0.9.22 to 10.1.0. Voila, rake now works!
