By using Travis CI to build your site, you can easily blog from anywhere
you can edit text files. Which means you can blog with only a web
browser and `GitHub.com <https://github.com>`_.
You also won’t need to install Nikola and Python to write. Or a real computer,
a mobile phone could probably access one of those services and write something.

other configuration requires editing ``.travis.yml``.
* If you ever commit to ``master`` manually, make sure to add ``[ci skip]`` to
your commit messages, otherwise there might be failed builds (with errors
about ``Rakefile`` missing)
