For configuration variables, POST_PATH, PHOTO_PATH and MICRO_POST_PATH, in case there no / at the beginning and the end, applications fails to start.

Amit, thanks so much for this service! I had mine up and running (via Heroku) in like 10 minutes.

The frontmatter in Blotpub-created posts consists only of title: . For me, the default post then does not show the title in my Blot blog's template, but it does use the title when displaying the post in Micro.blog. I can't tell why this is.

I don't use title: in the metadata, but rather use a top-level Markdown heading, which works as expected. So, here's what blotpub created as my first post:

title : Posting to Blot using Blotpub

This is a test of Amit Gawande's [Blotpub](https://github.com/am1t/blotpub),
a Micropub service for Blot.im blogs. If this works, thanks Amit!

This did not display a title...

But micro.blog recognized the title somehow and rendered this...

If I edit the post like so...

title : Posting to Blot using Blotpub

# Posting to Blot using Blotpub

... the title is displayed properly in Blot. I can't explain this!

I also include a date in my frontmatter, since I don't trust using the file's modification date. Here's what my usual Blot post would look like:

Long story short, I wonder if there's a way that the app could be configured to use the user's preferences for frontmatter?

Thanks again, this is great as-is, so feel free to close this as "WONTFIX" :)
