Perhaps I didn't stress enough in the blog that this system was designed with non-technical users in mind. My girlfriend uses it on her blog and she is savvy enough to understand Markdown, but if I asked her to run a command-line script every time she wanted to publish something it would be a non-starter.
This could actually be a pretty neat feature to install on a server for clients so that they can change/add text content on the server without having to contact a dev (and without having command line access).
Once set up, it could be as simple as sharing folders with them.
I've set that kind of stuff up before by just having a .bat file with an icon on the desktop to run whatever script is needed. No need to actually type into a command line.
