That > should give you an idea of org-blog's features. I know org-blog. I also know blorg. Based on my own experience, this is what I could say: Pros for blorg: 1. really take power of org-mode -ie. one entry marked done is publishable. The rest stays in place 2. really easy to use if you know org-mode 3. category support through org-mode tags 4. templates 5. rss/rdf/atom support AFAIK 6. done by a french guy :) Cons: 1. publishing done via another mode (does not use org-publish) 2. not enough templates/css supplied ;) Pros of blorg: 1. really easy to use 2. use org-publish :) 3. no support for category and things like that 4. done by David :) Cons: 1. unfinished post are put into a separate directory (why not use TODO/DONE system as blorg does?) 2. org-publish :) (hard to setup correctly) 3. almost no documentation/example of what can be done (css etc) So my perfect (org based) blog engine would take the best of these two modes but I do not know how a "merge" could be made :) Regards, Xavier
