org-mode + ? (maybe mtsend.py) = weblog-editor

org-mode + ? (maybe mtsend.py) = weblog-editor

[Philipp Raschdorff]

hello,

is somebody using emacs + org.mode to publish to a wordpress-blog?

My Idea:

* BLOG-IT: This is the headline
header information about category, if comments are enabled or not etc.
(like it is described in the [documentation for mtsend.py](http:// 
scott.yang.id.au/2002/12/mtsendpy/)

Main-Text
---

A more detailed information about the syntax can be found on the  
mtsend.py website.

About mtsend,py (it works also for wordpress blogs :-):
"It uses XML-RPC exported by Movable Type to retrieve posts, edit  
posts, make new post entry, fix up categories and list recent posts,  
etc. It is a command line tool, i.e. no graphical user interface, but  
it is relatively easy to use."

Would be nice to have an org-mode enabled weblog-editor, but even  
witout using org-mode, I didn't find a solution for emacs + x =  
wordpress-blog-editor.

I've the feeling that it could be possible to use mtsend.py and emacs  
(+ orgmode?) to post to a wordpress blog, but unfortunaly I'm <del>to  
dumb</del> a newbie when it comes emacs programming.

Any Ideas? Somebody already using emacs and/or orgmode as a weblog- 
editor?

I'm not, but i'm sure such an interface could be written - well, easy
to say, isn't it ?

I've written org-blogging.el. Maybe you can give it a try and send me
some report about what should be done/fixed - i don't have that much
time for now, but it's not abandon-ware:

You can also find some useful blogging tool on David's page :

Hope this helps,

That's what I was thinking - but who's willing to do it? :-)

I'll take a look at it - seems to be cool, but this blog is lacking  
some functions like trackbacks, comments etc.

What I wante(ed) is "something" that can post to a wordpress blog,  
not exactly the same.
