+Exitwp is tool primarily aimed for making migration from multiple wordpress blogs to the `jekyll blog engine <https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/>`_ as easy as possible.
+
+This is a tool that aids batch conversions of wordpress blogs to use with the jekyll blog engine.

+ * You should now have all the blogs converted into separate directories under the build directory
