Glad to see this!

Sure.  I wrote blorg more than one year ago, and I made the mistake of
trying too add too many functions too early.  

Since that time, Org changed a lot and introduced properties - blorg
should be able to take advantage of them somehow.  Also, some code I
wrote in org-export-latex.el could be of some help in parsing the Org
file to get it published as a blog.

My plan is to rewrite blorg nearly from scratch, trying not to rush on
functionnalities and adding them only if people need them.

The next version of blorg will use Org internals for rendering HTML.  

The good thing of all this is that, no matter how far blorg1 will be
from blorg0, you can always work on your Org source without worrying 
too much on this!  Source is source :)

Thanks for trying blorg, happy orging,
