========

|
|
A Bash script that handles blog posting.
|
|
|
|
Some would say it's a CMS, but I don't like that word. It's just a script that lets you write a blog post with your favorite editor, puts all the posts together into an index, and creates an RSS file and a list of posts.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
You can read [the initial blog post](http://mmb.pcb.ub.es/~carlesfe/blog/creating-a-simple-blog-system-with-a-500-line-bash-script.html) for more information and as a demo, as my site has been 100% generated using bashblog.

|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Download bb.sh into a public folder of yours and run it:
|
|
|
|
./bb.sh
|
|
|
|
This will show the available commands
|
|
|
|
**Before creating a blog post, edit `bb.sh` and modify the variables in the `global_variables()` function**
|
|
|
|
To create your first post, make sure `$EDITOR` is set, and then just do:
|
|
|
|
./bb.sh post
|
|
|
|
When you're done, access the public URL for that folder and you should see the index
|
|
file and a new page for that post!
