I think I've figured this out.

Posting cute photos of your child and/or pets = teh comments.

Well, I suppose posting photos of your boobies works as well. But trust me---you don't want to see those...

This is my current script to create new SG posts; feel free to use it for whatever, or make comments about it:

#!/bin/bash





# Save our current directory


pushd `pwd` > /dev/null





cd ~/sg/posts





# Loop through entry numbers for the current day until we find


# one that doesn't exist


ENTRY=1


DATE=`date '+%y%m%d'`


while [ -f "sg-$DATE-$ENTRY.txt" ]; do


   let "ENTRY=(($ENTRY + 1))"


done





# Save the filename


POSTFILE="sg-$DATE-$ENTRY.txt"





# Use the premade template post


cp template.txt "$POSTFILE"





# I suppose I should use $EDITOR here to make it more universal...


vi "$POSTFILE"





# If the postfile isn't changed from the template file, remove it


if diff -q template.txt "$POSTFILE" > /dev/null; then


    rm "$POSTFILE"


fi





# Open it in TextEdit for spell-checking, and copy/paste purposes


# (This part is OS X specific)


[ -f "$POSTFILE" ] && open "$POSTFILE"





# Echo out the post file, including the path, so I can copy/paste


# it from the command line for further edits


[ -f "$POSTFILE" ] && echo "~/sg/posts/$POSTFILE"





# Return to the previous directory


popd > /dev/null
