 # pinopress
 
 **pinopress** is a modular makefile based static blog generator. that means you run the build script once and every page is generated beforehand.
+**pinopress** also focuses on extensibility, you can hook your own shell scripts into the build process to easily add any new features.
 
 built in features include markdown generated blog articles, and a rss feed.

 ## mounts
 
-coming soon...
+mounts are the **pinopress** solution to html includes. to include any file from the template directory, use the following syntax:
+```
+<!-- MOUNT_[NAMEOFFILE] -->
+```
+note that the name of file is without any extensions and in all caps. also, mounts are **not** expanded recursively.
+
+**pinopress** also has the following builtin mounts that are used internally, prefixed by an underscore:
+```
+<!-- _MOUNT_ARTICLECONTENT -->
+<!-- _MOUNT_ROLLINGITEM -->
+<!-- _MOUNT_ARCHIVEITEM -->
+<!-- _MOUNT_FEEDITEM -->
+```
