Convert pelican tags to lowercase
## This is destructive as it modifies the files in the directory you're currently in (only if they're .md) but always have a backup.
## I've tested this and it works ok for me, converting the tags all to lowercase. This was run in OS X 10.8.3
## Either copy/paste the entire line or create a shell script with it.
perl -pi -w -e 's/(?i)^tags:.*\n$/lc/ge' *.md

Thanks to LifeHacker for most of the command, all I did was tweak the regular expression and edit the file type.
