253 posts
Somehow I made it to 253 posts with this one. I switched to wordpress in late 2005, from blosxom. Blosxom was pretty cool. It’s written in Perl and there is a decent community around it, but ultimately, wordpress had the things I was looking for and was easy to maintain. One thing I miss, and the reason I used blosxom for so long was that it read plain text files, so I could blog using vim rather than a web interface. Though for over a year now I have been using wordpress, and it’s not that bad using a textarea to blog. Bleh my mojo is gone.
I’m surprised there’s no Emacs plug-in for WP. There is an edit hack at:
http://emacs.wordpress.com/
Regardless, WP post submits could totally be scripted from emacs.
I’m sure you can script something, and even leave emacs (shudder) out of the picture. Of course, Textmate already comes with a bundle to post to Wordpress via XML-RPC. :P
Hrm, I suppose I should have thought about (though I wasn’t really looking for a solution), on inspection it appears that Mark Hershberger (http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/XmlRpc) maintains the XmlRpc lisp for emacs. Maybe he’ll chime in.
Hah! I found your comments RSS feed ;)
