new software test
As you've probably noticed, I've been posting a lot recently. I've recently finished a big chunk (from a UI perspective) of making posting to my blog as painless as possible from my perspective.
Basically, I go into my NOTES buffer in the emacs that's already running, create a new "note", write an entry (in something vaguely resembling simplified wikimarkup) and hit a key sequence that formats the entry and shows it to me in a web browser. If it passes a proofreading, I click a link that causes it to be posted to my blog and mirrored at livejournal.
It's really quite convenient, even if it is a horrifying lashup under the hood.
(Honestly, I've just made this post to test a modified code path for the renderer.)
And here's a test of the tweak to the comment cgi.
Hmm, still pokey, but it seems to have written the write files.
I assume this is for your own blog sw and not for livejournal, or are you running their sw?
It turns out that posting to livejournal from the python code
that emacs hands off to only takes six statements (one of which is formatted across 12 lines, but it's the big blob of dictionary/structure with the post and its metadata. Adapting this to just post to livejournal would be utterly trivial.
