 bashblog
 ========
 
-A Bash script that handles blog posting. 
+A single Bash script to create blogs. 
 
-Download it to a public folder, run `./bb.sh post`, write the post, and that's it. No templating, just plain text editing (HTML or Markdown). All the boilerplate (front page, headers, titles, RSS, etc) is handled by the script.
+I created it because I wanted a very, very simple way to post entries to a blog by using a public folder on my server, without any special requirements and dependencies. Works on GNU/Linux, OSX and BSD.
