<p><code>ttbp</code> runs from the command line, providing a hub for writing personal blog
posts and reading posts written by other users of tilde.town. it&rsquo;s a little bit
like livejournal or dreamwidth or tumblr. you can opt to publish your posts to
a public html file hosted on your tilde page, or keep all your entries private
to the tilde.town server.</p>
<p>to use, run <code>~endorphant/bin/ttbp</code> while logged in to tilde.town</p>
<p>you can also try <code>~endorphant/bin/ttbp-beta</code> for a more colorful, but
potentially volatile experience; i sometimes announce in irc or on twitter when
i&rsquo;m testing a new feature.</p>
<h3>QUICK START</h3>
<p>no coding or html experience is necessary to get started. just log in to your
tilde.town account and enter:</p>
<p><code>~endorphant/bin/ttbp</code></p>
<p>ttbp will ask you a few questions to get you started. after that, writing and
reading entries all happen within the program.</p>
<p>that&rsquo;s it!</p>
<h3>SUPPORT</h3>
<p>if you&rsquo;re having trouble getting started, or run into program errors or strange
behavior, please send internal tilde.town mail to ~endorphant and i&rsquo;ll try to
sort things out!</p>
