Sorry, I should have provided more detail. Here is the relevant part of 
my org-publish-project-alist.

   ("org-ianbarton"
           :base-directory "~/devel/ianbarton/org/"
           :base-extension "org"
           :publishing-directory "~/devel/ianbarton/jekyll/"
           :recursive t
           :publishing-function org-publish-org-to-html
           :headline-levels 4             ; Just the default for this 
project.
           :html-extension "html"
           :body-only t
     )


     ("org-static-ian"
           :base-directory "~/devel/ianbarton/org/"
           :base-extension 
"css\\|js\\|png\\|jpg\\|gif\\|pdf\\|mp3\\|ogg\\|swf\\|php"
           :publishing-directory "~/devel/ianbarton/"
           :recursive t
           :publishing-function org-publish-attachment)

     ("ian" :components ("org-ianbarton" "org-static-ian"))

Ian.
