You set it up so that the files that contain blog entries belong to an
org-publish project, as described for example in
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-publish-html-tutorial.php

The idea is that you might want to combine a blog with a bunch of
org-published files, as I do in http://juanreyero.com and
http://greaterskies.com, and you shouldn't have to spend too much time
separating the two things.  So it boils down to defining your
org-publish-project-alist.  Then you open a file that belongs to the
project and do org-jekyll-export-blog or
org-jekyll-export-current-entry, depending on what you need.

It should, if the file from which you are calling is part of an
org-publish project, and there are entries with the :blog: tag and the
:on: property.

It should be able to populate the org-publish files itself; it
certainly works for me without doing org-publish.  If nothing works
for you please send me a minimal setup that reproduces your problem
and I'll try to figure it out.

Best regards, and thanks for the positive feedback,
