About SitePix

SitePix downloads large images from any WordPress-style news blog with
dated permalinks and standard <article> / OpenGraph conventions, overlays
optional title/date text, and drops them in a folder the OS screensaver
or desktop slideshow can point at. Originally built for kadampa.org —
now profile-driven via JSON, so the same engine can feed off any
compatible site.
