The goal is to have a script that exports an entire Posterous blog to disk, formatted in such a way to easily drop into the _posts folder of popular static site generators such as Octopress.
Goals

- edit file or pass in username / API tokens on the command line
- output all posts as individual Markdown-formatted text files
- support for categories
- download and locally store Posterous-hosted images
How to Use
