Usage

Use the pluto command line tool and pass in one or more planet configuration files. Example:

pluto ruby.yml

This will

1) fetch all feeds listed in ruby.yml and

2) store all entries in a local database, that is, ruby.sqlite in your working folder and

3) generate a planet web page, that is, ruby.html using the builtin blank template in your working folder using all feed entries from the local database.

Open up ruby.html to see your planet web page. Voila!
