Debian EDITOR

I just got an email from a fellow Debian user who was having problems with bashblogger. Apparently the EDITOR variable didn't get set in ~/.bblog.conf and so nothing could get written.

The EDITOR variable is usually set on most *NIX-like systems by default, apparently not so on Debian. I guess I need to add a function to check and make sure an editor exists and if not, specify vi as default.

So, if you just installed bashblogger ( 0.3.4.2 ) and you can't write the first article, make sure you specified an editor in ~/.bblog.conf.
