I'm not suggesting that you write this stuff in each and every file in
your blog. I'm just suggesting that before you can even have a blog (at
least using this mechanism), you have to first figure out what the
problem is and resolve it. Then you can optimize.
If the above works, then it's straigthforward to translate this into
settings that you can put into your .emacs. If it doesn't, anything else
you or we do is wasted effort (of which there's been plenty in this
thread).
