4. Install gems
5. Cloning Octopress git repository
6. Installation of Octopress RVM Packages
7. Creating posts, pages and customization
8. Deploy to Github pages
9. Creating a CNAME file pointing to my custom domain
10. Getting .dot.tk free domain and modify dot.tk dns with adding A record.
11. Waiting till it works!

Good Luck!
