That\u2019s easy, right? Just use Org-mode and some Org \u2192 Blog interface such as <a href=\"https:\/\/gohugo.io\/\">Hugo<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/org2blog\/org2blog\">org2blog<\/a> and you\u2019ve automated away almost everything except the actual writing of the posts.<\/p>\n<p>Except Friesen isn\u2019t 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\u2019s molded Emacs to fit his workflow.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s 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\u2019t want to spend resources solving a problem he doesn\u2019t have.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at his post for the code he uses and a few more details on his blogging workflow. He has a <a href=\"https:\/\/takeonrules.com\/2021\/06\/08\/further-molding-emacs-to-reinforce-habits\/\">follow on post<\/a> that expands his code so check that out too if you\u2019re interested in his approach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeremy Friesen has an interesting post on how he uses Emacs to blog.
