+* `toml` is a Python module. 
+* `make` (optional), method for invoking the script. 
+* `curl`, `pycurl` and `urllib` (optional), for uploading multiple files to neocities (`neouploader.py`).
 
 ### Usage
 
 Send three arguments minimum to `python`. The fourth argument for an e-mail address is optional.
 
-    python microblog.py ./template.html ./content.txt user@mailhost.tld
+    python microblog.py ./template.html ./content.txt
 
 The resulting web page is outputted from standard output. Therefore:
 
-    python microblog.py ./template.html ./content.txt user@mailhost.tld >  result.html
+    python microblog.py ./template.html ./content.txt >  result.html

-* `postsperpage.txt`, holds an integer for the number of posts to render per page (default: 20). This is a configuration file that is created if it does not exist).
 * `lastfullpage.txt`, holds an integer for the last page rendered by the paginator.
 * `updatedfiles.txt`, a list of files updated by the script for use in automated uploads.
 
+## Configuration
+
+Settings are read from `settings.toml`. See `example/settings.toml`.

 ### Writing Content
