Installing Octopress on Windows 7

Octopress is a pretty sweet blogging framework built on Jekyll. It’s a nice bit of kit that can easily be set up to create and deploy a blog to Github or your own server / webhost. I wanted to be able to use it from my Windows 7 laptop, so I googled around and figured out how to get everything set up. For reference - and in the likely event that I forget how I did it, I’m posting my findings in this - my first Octopress post.
