vim: current best available jekyll plugin?

I've recently started my blogging via jekyll and immediately feel
addicted into it.
but it looks not quite feel a vim way .
I have to
1) :!rake post title="my title"
2) go find that generated post template in _post dir and open it
3) and edit
4) :!git .... or use fugitive git plugin to get it published

is there a good way to automate at least step 1 and 4 ?

and there is one thing specifically I really wanted to archive for quite
a while:

I usually work in some a long , but organized text file. and sometime I
really want to quickly put
some really good texts that I'm editing/viewing into a blog post and
publish it.
currently I have to:
1) visual select the texts that i want to post
2) copy them into a new buffer
3) add some yaml front matter stuff like the following:

---
layout: post
title: "github/jeklly notes"
description: ""
category:
tags: []
---
{% include JB/setup %}

4) save them as a md file into the _post folder

what is the best vim-way to automate these?
