<h3>writing entries</h3>
<p>entries are recorded as plaintext files in your <code>~/.ttbp/entries</code> directory.
<code>ttbp</code> will use your selected editor to open and write files; each day is its
own entry, like a diary page. at midnight for whatever timezone you&rsquo;ve set for
your user account on tilde.town, you&rsquo;ll get a fresh entry. if you don&rsquo;t write

your user account on tilde.club, you'll get a fresh entry. if you don't write
any feels on a particular day, no entries will show up there.</p>
<p>when you save and quit the text editor, your entry will automatically propagate
to the global feels list; if you&rsquo;ve opted to publish your feels to html/gopher,
those files will update immediately. you can always go back to the current day&rsquo;s
entry and edit/add as you&rsquo;d like, but older entries will not be available for

of users you've subscribed to, as well as manage your subscription list. your
list is saved to <code>~/.ttbp/config/subs</code>, which gets automatically updated when

your subscribe list; if you want to see more entries from an individual, you
can navigate to their entries in `check out your neighbors from the main
menu.</p>
<h3>privacy</h3>
<p>when you start your ttbp, you have the option of publishing or not publishing
your blog.</p>
<p>if you opt to not publish, your entires will never be accessible from outside of
the tilde.town network; other tilde.town users will still be able to read your

entries through the ttbp interface, or by directly accessing your
<code>~/.ttbp/entries</code> directory.</p>
<p>if you want to further protect your entries, you can <code>chmod 700</code> your entries
directory.</p>
<p>if you opt to publish, the program creates a directory <code>~/.ttbp/www</code> where it
stores all html files it generates, and symlinks this from your <code>~/public_html</code>
with your chosen blog directory. your blog will also be listed on the <a href="https://tilde.town/~endorphant/ttbp">main ttbp
with your chosen blog directory. your blog will also be listed on the <a href="https://tilde.club/wiki/ttbp.html">main ttbp
page</a>.</p>
<p>you can also opt to publish to gopher, and the program will automatically
generate a gophermap of your feels.</p>
<p>you can set publishing status on individual entries, or bury individual feels;
see &ldquo;data management&rdquo; below for details.</p>
see "data management" below for details.</p>
<h3>data management</h3>
<p>the <code>manage your feels</code> menu provides several tools for organizing your feels.
these are all actions you can perform manually from the command line, but doing
them from within the program can help keep your files properly linked up.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>read over feels</strong>&ndash;a list of all your entries, which you can open and
read like any other feel</li>
<li><strong>modify feels publishing</strong>&ndash;this lets you toggle privacy on individual
posts. entries marked <code>(nopub)</code> will not get written to html or gopher,
and toggling them from this menu will immediately publish or unpublish
that entry (if you&rsquo;re not publishing your posts at all, these settings
won&rsquo;t matter, since your feels will never show up outside of tilde.town)</li>
<li><strong>backup your feels</strong>&ndash;makes a .tar.gz of all your entries, saving one
copy to <code>~/.ttbp/backups/</code> with the current date, and a second copy to
your home directory for safekeeping.</li>
<li><strong>import a feels backup</strong>&ndash;unpacks a backup file into your current feels
list. this tool checks the <code>~/.ttbp/backups</code> directory for archives, and
expects a file created by the above backup utility. if it detects any file
collisions, it will preserve your current live copy and leave the backup
verison in a temp directory, and notify you that this happened. also, any
entries that were previously marked as <code>(nopub)</code> will retain their nopub
status.</li>
<li><strong>bury some feels</strong>&ndash;hides individual feels from viewing; entries are
moved to <code>~/.ttbp/buried</code> (and marked with a unique timestamp to prevent
file collision) with permissions set to 600, meaning no one except you
will be able to open that file. these entries are also hidden from your
own view from <code>read over feels</code>, and you&rsquo;ll have to open the files from
the command line if you want to see them. this is intended to be a
permament action, so you&rsquo;ll be asked to type the entry date once to load
the feel, then shown a preview of that feel, and then type the date again
to confirm burying.</li>
<li><strong>delete feels by day</strong>&ndash;<em>permanently removes individual entries</em>,
including deleting published html/gopher files if needed. this action is
not recoverable, unless you have a backup to restore; you&rsquo;ll be asked to
type the entry date once to load the feel, then shown a preview of that
feel, and then type the date again to confirm deletion.</li>
<li><strong>purge all feels</strong>&ndash;<em>permanently removes all feels</em>, including deleting
all published html/gopher files if needed. this action is not recoverable,
unless you have a backup to restore. you&rsquo;ll be asked to type a
one-time-use purge code to confirm this action.</li>
<li><strong>wipe feels account</strong>&ndash;<em>permanently removes all data associated with
feels</em>, including deleting any published hmtl/gopher files and removing
your <code>~/.ttbp</code> directory. any backups that you have in <code>~/.ttbp/backups</code>
will also be deleted with this action (which is why the backup function
makes a second copy for safekeeping in your home directory). you will no
longer show up in any lists as a user.</li>
<li><strong>read over feels</strong>--a list of all your entries, which you can open and
read like any other feel</li>
<li><strong>modify feels publishing</strong>--this lets you toggle privacy on individual
posts. entries marked <code>(nopub)</code> will not get written to html or gopher,
and toggling them from this menu will immediately publish or unpublish
that entry (if you're not publishing your posts at all, these settings

will be able to open that file. these entries are also hidden from your

will also be deleted with this action (which is why the backup function
makes a second copy for safekeeping in your home directory). you will no
longer show up in any lists as a user.</li>
</ul>
<h3>settings</h3>
<p>the settings menu lets you change specific options for handling your feels and
using the interface.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>editor</strong>&ndash;set your text editor</li>
<li><strong>gopher</strong>&ndash;opt in or out of automatically posting to gopher</li>
<li><strong>post as nopub</strong>&ndash;set whether posts default to being published or not
published (if you&rsquo;re not publishing your feels, this doesn&rsquo;t matter)</li>
<li><strong>publish dir</strong>&ndash;set the directory under you <code>public_html</code> where feels will be
published (if you&rsquo;re not publishing your feels, this defaults to <code>None</code>)</li>
<li><strong>publishing</strong>&ndash;opt in or out of automatically publishing entries to a
world-readable html page</li>
<li><strong>rainbows</strong>&ndash;opt in or out of having multicolored menu text</li>
<li><strong>editor</strong>--set your text editor</li>
<li><strong>gopher</strong>--opt in or out of automatically posting to gopher</li>
<li><strong>post as nopub</strong>--set whether posts default to being published or not

<li><strong>publishing</strong>--opt in or out of automatically publishing entries to a
world-readable html page</li>
<li><strong>rainbows</strong>--opt in or out of having multicolored menu text</li>
</ul>
<h3>changing your page layout</h3>
<p>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. <strong>you might want to back up your
~/.ttbp/entries directory before you do this.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>to modify your stylesheet, edit your ~/.ttbp/config/style.css</li>
<li>to modify the page header, edit your ~/.ttbp/config/header.txt
<ul>
<li>there&rsquo;s a place marked off in the default header where you can safely put
custom HTML elements!</li>
