ENTRIES ### writing entries
=======
entries are recorded as plaintext files in your ~/.ttbp/entries
directory. you can edit them there directly, or fix old entries, or
delete entries.
*warning*: changing old entries might cause strange things to
happen with timestamps. the main program looks at the filename
first for setting the date, then the last modified time to sort
recent posts. it expects YYYMMDD.txt as the filename; anything else
won't show up as a valid entry. yes, this means you can post things out
of date order by creating files with any date you want.
