I apologize for my hasty post... I was in the middle of a problem that is no longer an issue. Anyway, what was failing was the syntax of how the bash was written. I will try again, using the suggestions and post the results. Btw, I have been trying to find tutorials or books on how to write code more clearly/readable, do you have any sugesstions? Thank you

OPTIONS
-b directory, --blogdir directory Allows you to specify a directory in which the BlazeBlogger repository is placed. The default option is a current working directory. -E editor, --editor editor Allows you to specify an external text editor.
