Justin Mayer c0e3926b0d Prepare for 3.0 release, make README more readable
Since PyPI doesn't seem to handle anything but the most basic of reST
formatting, moving the inline links to the end of the file should
improve readability when the file is viewed in its raw form. Also
updated changelog with the 3.0 release date.

Pelican
=======
Pelican is a static site generator, written in Python_.
* Write your weblog entries directly with your editor of choice (vim!)
in reStructuredText_ or Markdown_
* Includes a simple CLI tool to (re)generate the weblog
* Easy to interface with DVCSes and web hooks
* Completely static output is easy to host anywhere
Features
--------
Pelican currently supports:
* Blog articles and pages
* Comments, via an external service (Disqus). (Please note that while
useful, Disqus is an external service, and thus the comment data will be
somewhat outside of your control and potentially subject to data loss.)
* Theming support (themes are created using Jinja2_ templates)
* PDF generation of the articles/pages (optional)
* Publication of articles in multiple languages
* Atom/RSS feeds
* Code syntax highlighting
* Compilation of `LESS CSS`_ (optional)
* Import from WordPress, Dotclear, or RSS feeds
* Integration with external tools: Twitter, Google Analytics, etc. (optional)
Why the name "Pelican"?
-----------------------
"Pelican" is an anagram for *calepin*, which means "notebook" in French. ;)
