Middleman Bootstrap is my clean project starting point for the Middleman static site renderer. It includes HTML5 Boilerplate, your choice of Blueprint or 960.gs grid systems, and lots of best practices.
Start by installing the Middleman gem:
gem install middleman
Then just download the latest source or if you prefer, clone the bootstrap repository down to your local machine:
git clone git://github.com/nathos/middleman-bootstrap.git mydirectory
Page templates and Sass stylesheets are in the /views/ directory. Put your images and JavaScripts in the /public/ directory. Use mm-server to do your live development and mm-build to render your static file output to the /build/ directory.
For full Middleman documentation, visit the Middleman wiki.
The default Haml layout is based on HTML5 Boilerplate, and is fully commented. (Don't worry, those comments aren't rendered out to your build directory)
You can enable either Blueprint or 960.gs grid systems by uncommenting the appropriate line in the main style.css.sass file. Each grid partial (_960grid.sass and _blueprintgrid.sass) includes a basic grid setup with comments.
(Note: 960.gs requires that you uncomment a line in config.rb as well)
