+    Blog Configuration File
+    -----------------------
+    
+    The file CONFIG.INI is used to set up variables used by the template
+    engine and the RSS feed generator.  The configuration file is a simple
+    file containing pairs: 
+    
+    label=value
+    
+    Lines that are blank or start with a "#" sign are ignored.
+    
+    The RSS generator code requires the following values to be defined:
+    
+        * blog - the name of the blog
+        * description - a brief, one-line description
+        * url - the base URL from where the blog is served
+    
+    These values are also available in the templates, and may be included
+    in the POSTHDR.HTM and POSTFTR.HTM files, as described later.
