+Comb is a modular weblog/website engine.
+
+A Comb site consists a single *database*,
+accessed through multiple *interfaces*:
+
+ - Web interface
+ - Atom/RSS interface
+ - Administration interface
+ - XML-RPC interface
+
+These are all interfaces to the underlying database.
+They are implemented in Comb as Ruby classes,
+all of which inherit from a super-class,
+which serves as a general-purpose interface to the database.
+
+Comb is customized and extended by editing the interfaces.
+For example, the web interface replaces the "themes"
+characteristic of most other content management systems.
