Rake Preview displays my octropress blog as a blank page on localhost:4000

I have written my first post on octopress using:

rake new_post 'name_of_post'

I can see my post inside _source/_posts/'2014-01......

When I try to run the command

rake preview

this is what the terminal outputs:

source$ rake preview
(in /Users/steclaudinodaffara/Documents/blog/cdSte/octopress)

Dear developers making use of FSSM in your projects,
FSSM is essentially dead at this point. Further development will
be taking place in the new shared guard/listen project. Please
let us know if you need help transitioning! ^_^b

It seems like everything should be working, but it previews a blank page at the localhost. Here is my repo on github: https://github.com/stecd/octopress I forked it from the original Octopress repo and then copied it to my directory.

I followed this blog to start using octopress: http://learnaholic.me/2012/10/10/deploying-octopress-to-github-pages-and-setting-custom-subdomain-cname/

Is there anything I am missing?

This appears to be a known issue, see https://github.com/imathis/octopress/issues/1395

The issue is marked as closed, though I am not sure because I have the same issue. A simple workaround is to use Chrome instead of Safari.
