While I think Xah's language was a tad OTT, he is right about the mess which is Emacs blogging solutions - it's not easy. The link he appended http://code.google.com/p/e-blog/ worked fine first go for me and is nice. The only thing it, like most emacs interfaces, seems to lack is the defaulting of the body to a selected region if a region is selected. I like to use thingatpt+ and the region-or-word-at-point function to default the text. It could also do with prompting to accept the previous blog selected as a default. regards Richard. -- important and urgent problems of the technology of today are no longer the satisfactions of the primary needs or of archetypal wishes, but the reparation of the evils and damages by the technology of yesterday. ~Dennis Gabor, Innovations: Scientific, Technological and Social, 1970
