There are two ways to configure the blog strings:
- Edit `bb.sh` and modify the variables in the `global_variables()` function
- Create a `.config` file with your configuration values (useful if you don't want to touch the script). You can find
the `global_variables()` function on the script
- Create a `.config` file with your configuration values (useful if you don't want to touch the script)
The software will load the values in the script first, then overwrite them with the values in the `.config` file.
This means that you don't need to define all variables in the config file, only those which you need to override
from the defaults.
The format of the `.config` file is just one `variablename="value"` per line, just like in the `global_variables()`
function. Remember to quote the values, do not declare a variable with the dollar sign, and do not use spaces around the
equal sign.
Please note that bashblog uses the `$EDITOR` environment value to open the text editor.
