Jeremy Friesen has an interesting post on how he uses Emacs to blog. That’s easy, right? Just use Org-mode and some Org → Blog interface such as Hugo or org2blog and you’ve automated away almost everything except the actual writing of the posts.
Except Friesen isn’t using Org to blog. He has some custom code that acts sort of like Org capture that prompts him for a title and builds a port stub that he can expand into a post. The idea is to make it easy for him to capture an idea for a blog post when he has it and come back to the actual writing later. He’s molded Emacs to fit his workflow.
It’s not that Friesen is against Org. He envisions that his blogging workflow will eventually become Org based but for the time being his current solution is working for him and he doesn’t want to spend resources solving a problem he doesn’t have.
Take a look at his post for the code he uses and a few more details on his blogging workflow. He has a follow on post that expands his code so check that out too if you’re interested in his approach.
