Introducing Happyblogger
I finally ditched my old Blogger account and hacked together a neat blogging solution I would like to call happyblogger. Its basically just some glue that lets me write posts in Emacs' fabolous org-mode and via some processing lets mojombo's slick Jekyll package take care of the rest. I'm very pleased with the result, at least for the time being. :) This is of course mostly for personal use, but I've wrapped it up into a package that should be easy to install/use for others as well.
I actually thought that I had to modify Jekyll quite heavily to get it to work with orgmode instead of the default Textile/Markdown, but luckily it was enough to just postprocess the HTML that orgmode produces and feed it right into Jekyll. The processing is done with Hpricot. I did create some patches for Jekyll though while I was looking through its codebase (now accepted into the mainline). Happyblogger depends on these patches - this means that you currently have to install Jekyll from git in order to use it.
The code, along with some documentation, is available at happyblogger's GitHub repository.
If you actually decide to give it a shot it would be interesting to hear your comments, but since I haven't added a commenting solution yet you'd have to ship me an email. :)
