 # bashblog
 It's basically a cron-ed bash script that makes a "blog" from a folder of images and text. It is not perfect by any means, it is a blog by the simplest means. If you have questions feel free to email hello@sexoskeleton.com

 ## setup
 
 1. create a `webadd` directory and a `webdir` directory. Webdir is the site, webadd is images and text to be added.

 `MAXLOG` sets how many lines of the script log you want to hold onto before it is deleted.
 By default everytime sexoskeleton.sh is run it stores most of its output into `~/cronlog.log` which isn't precisely a cronlog. But that's what it's called.

 ## when the script is run
 The script iterates through files in the `webadd` directory. Anything ending in .gif, .jpg, .png or .txt will be picked up. .txt files can contain html but you need to escape your own slashes. Which is to say if you put in / in a .txt add a \ before it.

 if something has changed, the script runs [surge](https://surge.sh) to upload the site. You'll need to configure Surge before running all this. Or just share `webdir` with a webserver.
 
+
+## automate that shit
+
+you probs want to add this script to your crontab so it auto checks for new images and adds them.
+
+## troubleshooting
+
+If you run into a `Syntax error: "(" unexpected` error you gotta run it as `./sexoskeleton.sh` and not `sh sexoskeleton.sh`
