In honor of NKO we went back to the roots of the Node.js community, experimentation, to completely rewrite blacksmith from the ground up. Over time blacksmith grew as we used it for docs.nodejitsu.com and the Nodejitsu blog, but there were some issues that never quite got resolved:

1. Use plates over weld.
2. Reusing HTML (such as layouts).
3. Better documentation of rendering conventions and settings.

So read on to learn about how blacksmith is back and better than ever. In fact, it is used to render this very blog!.
