When I link pages within my site, I prefer to not use file extensions at the end. Is there any way to remove .html from all links within the site via the script, then rebuild every page? Or will I have to try to figure out a way with htaccess or something?

htaccess would be the simplest fix for your situation. The script uses .html extensions to function.

You could use another bash script. After bashblog runs, and before uploading to webhost, grab all the files in the blog and rename all the .html files, removing the extension and modifying them with sed.

sed to replace <a href="article-title.html">Article Title</a> with <a href="article-title">Article Title</a> Note there are a few replacements to be made, the all_tags.html page, all_posts.html, etc.

That's a rather good idea, I'll give it a crack.

How would that work with 'htaccess'?

Here's a quick HTML linter that removes all instances of .html within <a> tags in all HTML files within the directory that you run it in.
