I have been impressed with bash's ability to create websites. the bashblog script is greate, and nanoblogger seems pretty cool as well. Both of them are missing some stuff I would like, so I am attempting to write my own. My problem mainly with bashblog is the fact that is uses Twitter and Disqus for comments, both of which I do not use. Also, it relies on the environment variable for editor, and sometimes that may not be set.

My version tries to guess the editor and falls back to nano as a default. You can set it in the config file if you want as well. It generates the config on the first run as .bashtmlrc. The project is called bashtml. An example of its ability is at the BasHTML site. I'd love to have some help on this, let me know if you are interested in contributing.
