Hi, Is there any comparison table of the two main blog solution for org-mode available somewhere ? I have used them myself but I am quite unable to explain in what they differ, what are the pros and cons of the solutions. A friend of mine has asked me to help him choose one of them and I can't :) Regards, Xavier
Hi Xavier, I am the author of org-blog.el. It is very simple and provides only a basic level of functionality: postings, a summary page, and RSS. There are complete instructions in the org-blog.el commentary section. That should give you an idea of org-blog's features. I want to add more functionality (like a sidebar and maybe even a calendar) but I've been working on other things lately... I haven't used blorg so I don't know much about how it differs.

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 :)

Xavier
