blorg users?

[David O'Toole]

I've abandoned my old program "org-blog.el" and have started to set up
Bastien's "Blorg" software. But there seems to be a lot of templates to
customize, and I also have to come up with styles. Are there any other
blorg users out there who would share their configs and templates with
me, and maybe I could piece together a style? I promise to tweak
everything and change the colors so that it won't look too much like
your site. what I'm mainly hoping for is to borrow someone's layout, and
then do my own color scheme.

I also promise to release my theme back to the community for further
copying.

Any thoughts?

Hi David,

Yes there are quite a lot of blorg templates etc to customize, and 
configuration could be better.  And I spent quite a lot of time 
developing my rather minimal blorg theme which I use on my blog at 
http://sourcesmouth.co.uk/blog/

Anyway, I'm happy to share my configs with you and the org community, as 
I'd very much like to see some more blorgers, and some of the 
outstanding issues with blorg resolved (most notably links not rendering 
properly).

I have begun seperating my blorg configs into something that's hopefully 
a little more meaningfull to others.  When I've completed this work, 
I'll push it into a git repository for you and others to look at.

I've also made some minor mods to Bastien's blorg.el branched from 
v0.75, which support use of a 3rd party feed etc and add some css 
classes etc to various HTML snippets.

I've seen Bastien has made some changes since 0.75 with v0.75e.  I tried 
merging these changes but found the newer version to be more problematic 
than the older version.

I'll send out an email with a link to the git repo when I've seperated 
the configuration a bit more.  I hope this helps.

Well, in response to David's original request.  I've finally got round
to publishing my rather minimal blorg theme and config on github:

http://github.com/InkyHarmonics/sourcesmouth-blorg-theme/tree/theme-branch

I've untangled many of the dependencies on my system, but there are a
few left.  If anyone attempts to use this, then it would be good to
untangle some of these also.  I'm not an elisp hacker, and know that
there is much work left to be done.

The release includes a slightly modified version of blorg.el, it could
really be patched upto Bastien's more recent 0.75e release.

One of the reasons for me publishing this is to help an incredibly
small blorg community get a little bigger.  I suspect I'm the only
user at the moment!!  It's clear there is some more work needed
ironing out some of blorg's niggles also.  Hopefully some more
experienced elispers can help me do this, until Bastien gets around to
rewriting it on top of org-publish.

There is a function called publish-blog which copies all the source
images, style sheets etc into the upload directory.  It also calls
org-publish to generate static pages (which share much of the theme
also).

Be sure to let the me know if you're using this, and hopefully we can
iron out some problems.

Hello

I'm currently started to use blorg, and found some problems with it - for
example, improper generation of relative links - for example,
[[../bla-bla-bla][description]] is turned into
http://my-url/:../bla-bla-bla - may be you know this problem?

P.S. is any mailing list for blorg users, or better to discuss all issues
in org-mode list?
