My Octopress blog is deployed, but I can't figure out the YAML issue when running 'rake generate'. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

dubipod$ rake generate

'## Generating Site with Jekyll'

remove .sass-cache/

remove source/stylesheets/screen.css

create source/stylesheets/screen.css

I had a similar error and to fix it I removed the @ sign from my twitter username and the syntax error went away. The output says exactly where your error is: "couldn't parse YAML at line 67 column 14 (Psych::SyntaxError)"

Syntax Error

66 # Twitter
67 twitter_user: @joshschmelzle

Fixed

66 # Twitter
67 twitter_user: joshschmelzle

In my case I just edit

  twitter_user:twitterName

to

  twitter_user: twitterName
