blogging from emacs

Thanks to the instructions at http://blog.gabrielsaldana.org/post-to-wordpress-blogs-with-emacs-org-mode/ now got this blogging working from emacs.

There’s some configuration required, I usually put stuff I don’t use frequently in a function to avoid cluttering my startup, so I ended up with (I don’t use xml-rpc for anything else, but it could be moved out of the defun)

(defun my-wordpress ()
  (interactive)
  (add-to-list 'load-path (concat *my-site-lisp* "xml-rpc"))
  (require 'xml-rpc)

  (add-to-list 'load-path (concat *my-site-lisp* "org2blog"))
  (require 'org2blog-autoloads)

  (setq org2blog/wp-track-posts (list "/home/my/blog/logs" "Posts")

  (setq org2blog/wp-blog-alist
	'(("imp"
	   :url "some_url_ending_with/xmlrpc.php"
	   :username "admin"
	   :default-title "New entry"
	   :default-categories ("emacs")
	   :tags-as-categories nil)
	  ))

  (org2blog/wp-login)
  (message "Use M-x org2blog/wp-post-subtree to post the current tree")))
