That should be in your actual .org file. See below.

Your call. I really don't endure much with this. Also, see below as your
comment actually refreshed my mind about how easy this really is.

Yes! I didn't remember this. The "prefix argument" is C-u (in case you did
not know that... I had no idea when I first saw that). This works
fantastically. *That's* how I was doing it when I was really in the groove.
So, here's my updated method:

- Write some stuff
- Select it (move to beginning of what you want, C-space, move to end of
what you want)
- C-u C-c C-e R to export that region with no preamble to a separate buffer
- C-x C-w export.txt
- to terminal: perl -pi -e ' s/\R/ /g; s/\<p\>//g; s/\<\/p\>/\n\n/g;'
 export.txt
- back to emacs: C-x C-f export.txt; type "yes"
- M-< to go to front of buffer, C-space, M-> to go to end, M-w to copy
- Paste into basic blogger edit box
- Done

Re. the first part... just take this and save it as an org file in an emacs
buffer.

Start. Here is some text that I am writing to test exporting. Here is some

Then do the above with the blob from: "Start. Here is..." ---> "...to test
