# 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.
here are some potential ideas for modules:
- [ ] syntax highlight for code blocks
-- [ ] blog average time to read
+- [x] blog average time to read
## pinopress flavored markdown
`$USERLOCAL2` - another user local variable
-## mounts
-
-many times, you would like to display a list of html elements somewhere in the page. **pinopress** solves this using mounts. mounts are simply comments that tell pinopress where to append template items.
