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 yes, this means you can post things out
of date order by creating files with any date you want.
#### general entry-writing notes
* you can use [markdown](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax)
* you can use html
* you can also put things between `<!-- comments -->` to have them show up
in the feed but not render in a browser (but people can still read
them with view-source)
PAGE LAYOUT
===========
* to change stylesheet, edit your ~/.ttbp/www/style.css
* to change header, edit your ~/.ttbp/config/header.txt
* to change footer, edit your ~/.ttbp/config/footer.txt
### changing your page layout
GENERAL TIPS
============
you can modify how your blog looks by editing the stylesheet or
header and footer files. the program sets you up with basic
default. if you break your page somehow, you can force the program to
regenerate your configuration by deleting your ~/.ttbp directory entirely. **you might want to back up your ~/.ttbp/entries directory before you do this.**
* add `alias ttbp="~endorphant/bin/ttbp"` to your .bash_aliases
* to modify your stylesheet, edit your ~/.ttbp/www/style.css
* to modify the page header, edit your ~/.ttbp/config/header.txt
* to modify the page footer, edit your ~/.ttbp/config/footer.txt
### GENERAL TIPS
* add `alias ttbp="~endorphant/bin/ttbp"` to your .bash_aliases for fewer keystrokes
