The CMS keeps posts and static pages in `bl-content/pages/<slug>/index.txt`. That makes import work simple:

1. Copy a post folder into `bl-content/pages`.
2. Check the metadata at the top of `index.txt`.
3. Run `php cli/blog.php rebuild`.

SQLite stores comments. JSON stores site configuration and a generated page index. CSV stores visit stats in a format Excel can open without ceremony.

The CLI handles normal publishing work, so there is no browser admin dashboard to harden, theme, or maintain.
