I'm not sure about how it is different from Jekyll, but I was just looking for something extremly simple. Perhaps the answer about why I wrote a new engine instead of using Jekyll is because I'm not a Ruby user, and I didn´t want to install gem on my computer.
Looks good. I haven't heard of Speechhub but I look forward to your tutorial.
I recently added a blog to my static GitHub page using Jekyll (http://atomyard.com/blog/Blogging-with-Jekyll/). I found Jekyll to be very easy to use (and it's built right into GitHub) so I'd be interested to see how Speechhub compares.
Speechhub is much more simple then Jekyll. Actually, I last just few hours of two half-days on this project.
For sure Speechhub has lots of restrictions (no sintax highligh for codes, no comments but Disqus, no documentation ...), bu I intend to work on it ass soon as possible.
In the future you might want to consider Jekyll-Bootstrap (http://jekyllbootstrap.com/). It simplifies a lot of the early configuration and adds theming, commenting, tags on top of Jekyll.
I've been having a lot of trouble with gh-pages lately, builds taking 6 hours or more, and I eventually had to switch to just using a cheap VPS for some projects as a result.
gh-pages is a great feature but it was never meant to have the load it has today. I'm sure they'll eventually get it scaled, but right now I wouldn't recommend using gh-pages for anything time-sensitive (like if you want to announce a project on HN before the weekend).
I don't know whether the OP is the author of the blog post (I believe so), but I have a quick English suggestion for you. In your "About" section, you said:
> Hi, I'm Antonio, a computer engineer that likes also about Math and Rock Climb
A much more natural wording would be:
> Hi, I'm Antonio, a computer engineer who also likes talking about math and rock climbing

If you want a free, git supported web hosting, I highly recommend using Heroku free plan instead.
I've been contributing to the project and it is pretty slick so far. http://github.com/theycallmeswift/quill

Ruhoh – another static blog generator. from the creators of Jekyll Bootstrap: http://ruhoh.com/
It has also a quite nice blog API proposal: http://ruhoh.com/universal-blog-api/

Keep up the good work!
