There is a VIM plugin for Jekyll called jekyll.vim.

It is easy to use and only has three commands.

• JekyllList lists all posts
• JekyllPost creates a post with YAML front-matter prepared
• JekyllBuild build whole site

But you have to define a global variable g:jekyll_path to your jekyll folder.

Some other useful settings:

let g:jekyll_post_suffix = "md"
let g:jekyll_prompt_tags = "true"
let g:jekyll_prompt_categories = "true"
