 You can see it live here: [read the initial blog post](https://web.archive.org/web/20130520204024/http://mmb.pcb.ub.es/~carlesfe/blog/creating-a-simple-blog-system-with-a-500-line-bash-script.html). That page was 100% generated using bashblog, no additional tweaking.
 
 
-Features
---------
-
-- No installation required. Download `bb.sh` and start blogging.
-- Ultra simple usage: Just type a post with your favorite editor and the script does the rest. No templating.
-- All content is static. You only need shell access to a machine with a public web folder.
-  *Tip: advanced users could mount a remote public folder via `ftpfs` and run this script locally*
-- Allows drafts, includes a simple but clean stylesheet, generates the RSS file automatically.
-- Support for tags/categories
-- Support for Markdown, Disqus comments, Twitter, Feedburner, Google Analytics.
-- GNU/Linux, BSD and OSX compatible out of the box (no need for GNU `coreutils` on a Mac)
-- Everything stored in a single 700-line bash script, how cool is that?! ;)
