I have a cold and feel awful so today’s post will be short but I did want to point you to Narendra Joshi’s excellent post on how he uses org-publish for his blog. What I really like about his setup is that it does everything with Org. That means it takes care of building the RSS feed, the index page, the archive, and the Disqus comment block. Once the system is set up, all he has to do is write his post as an Org file and push a couple of buttons to publish the post.
He has pointers to the complete source so you can see how everything works and use it to build your own blogging system. Again, I like that it doesn’t depend on a third party blogging engine. It’s simple and portable and doesn’t depend on the continued existence of anything but Emacs and Org mode. If you’re looking for a nice blogging solution, take a look.
