Publishing my personal website with Org-mode

Publishing my personal website with Org-mode

[Flávio de Souza]

Hi everybody!

I'm new emacs and org-mode user. I've posted to this group sometimes and
I got helpful hints. Now I need your help ( opinion ) about
publishing html with org-mode.

I decided to use emacs to make my personal website. Basically,
I want to write essays, tutorials and my cv and put in internet. I also
want to do a blog. 

I am using org-mode to keep tracking of all my projects and it is working
really nice, therefore I'd like to try org-mode to make my web site.

I would like to know some web sites that are using org-mode. Can you point 
some of them? 

Can I use org-mode to make my blog too? Do you use it for that?

If I could use org-mode, it would be perfect, because I´d keep
all my material (notes, project, essays, blogs...) in the same organization
structure.

Regards,

The home page of org-mode ( http://orgmode.org ) and the worg
community site ( http://orgmode.org/worg/ ) are both powered by
org-mode.

At least 2 blogging libraries for org-mode exist: org-blog and blorg.
Here's a comparison thread:

Some information about them are at
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/OrgBlog and

Hi Flavio,

I just began a website with org-publish for many of the same reasons
you mention:

http://faculty.valpo.edu/mlundin/

Of course, there's the org-mode website itself:

http://orgmode.org/

As well as Worg, the org-mode wiki:

http://orgmode.org/worg/

For blogs there is the discontinued blorg.el, which uses its own
export mechanism (i.e., not org-export):

- http://lumiere.ens.fr/~guerry/blorg.php
- http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Blorg

There's also org-blog (a bit out of date now), though I haven't been
able to get it to work with more recent versions of org-publish.
Perhaps someone else who's had more luck will offer their opinion
here.

Hope this helps.

Nice.

Is your table of contents simply standard org fair with some special
css?

Here's my little offering : http://richardriley.net/

Carsten implemented selective tag based export. I see no reason why that
can't be used for "blog" publishing to ones own web albeit a tad heavy
on bandwidth since it will republish entire pages.

I've been using org-mode to make my web site since August. The address

Yes, the horizontal TOC is standard org with some CSS styling. I still
have concerns about its usability, but I like the look of it.

I very much like the clean design of your website.

There are some hacks there since I never really got around to
understanding the java script stuff for navigation., but yeah, I really
tried to keep it low bandwidth and "clean". Yours is a super example of
clean and functional too IMO. There's simply too much clutter on most
sites and we all need to do our little bit to reduce transfer overhead
IMO - not that my little business site is totally innocent :-;

Indeed, your horizontal TOC is very beautiful. I guess the main
usability concern is that it is not immediately obvious that it is a
TOC for the page, rather than a bunch of links to separate pages on
your site.

Would you mind if I sought (ahem) inspiration from your CSS file?

Here is an example of a small bunch of pages that I published with org:

http://www.crya.unam.mx/~will/temarios-armonia.html

Much less ambitious than the other examples given, but it did its job.

Cheers

Will

Yes, that's my concern as well, but including "Table of Contents"
looked a little clunky.

Not at all. It can be found at:

Thanks for the link. It's nice knowing how many other org-publish
users there are out there.

Thanks for the link. I like how you've used org-info.js and a single
page to create an entire website.

Hi Matt,

Thanks. I think org-info.js is fantastic. During a semester, I make 
daily updates to several parts of the site. Having the whole site 
generated from one file makes it easy to do these updates. One update 
takes at most 5 minutes as opposed to the 15-20 minutes it took before I 
began using org-mode. My students seem to have fewer problems with the 
site now, an unexpected bonus.

Hi,

I think it would be nice if someone could create a Worg page
with links to websites that are created using Org.

Any volunteers?
