blepbot

This is a Mastodon bot that posts daily blep images to a Mastodon account. To use this bot:

1. Place blep images in a directory named img/
2. Place post text to accompany each image in directory txt/ . The post text filename format must be: imagefilename.txt . Example: image file img/mypic.jpg will be posted with text from txt/mypic.jpg.txt
3. Place authentication token in file 'token.secret'
4. Edit blepbot.py with server name if not using botsin.space
5. Edit run_bot.bash to set up your python environment correctly
6. Schedule run_bot.bash to run twice a day (no arguments)
