Hello,

After Google dropped the ftp option to blogger, I dumped my blog to an
xml file with the hope of ressucitate it to a more friendly
environment for me. I've found this environment with a combination of
org-mode, blorg, and ... dropbox. Dropbox just provides me a link to
publish my blog wherever I want to. Blorg isn't being maintained I
believe and it has lots of error but it works in converting org-mode
to blog formatting for now and I can work on it later. 

Each topic in a blog is a TODO task and the date is inserted when the
task is DONE. I'm planning to read from my xml blog and write topics
simply as "* DONE mytopic ... " but how can I get the publication date
in org to get "CLOSED: <date>" on the next line? 

The xml of my blog is something like that: 

<title type='text'> my title</title>
<content type='html'> my content</content>
<published>2003-10-22T18:27:00.000-04:00</published>

TIA,

myriam

I use org in combination with Jekyll and jekyll.el. The process goes 
like this:

Create draft post using jekyll.el. This goes in the _drafts directory 
and isn't published. When it's finished use jekyll.el which modified the 
filename and moves it to the _posts directory.

Export my org files to html.

Run jekyll to create the web site and rsync it to my server.

My tutorial is on worg: 
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-jekyll.html

There are other ways to use org with jekyll, but this should give you 
some ideas.

Ian.

Myriam,

I write my content in Org-mode, and use weblogger.el to post my content. 
Just search for weblogger on Emacs wiki, and perhaps this will help a 
bit too:

This is about Drupal, but the ideas should work for posting to anything 
that supports xmlrpc.

After you've parsed the xml and retrieved the date string, you can
convert to an org CLOSED timestamp with something like this:

(format-time-string "CLOSED: [%Y-%m-%d %H:%M]" (date-to-time "2003-10-22T18:27:00.000-04:00"))

...which returns...

CLOSED: [2003-10-22 14:27]

(The time zone parsing may need some adjustment.)

HTH,
Matt

Oops. I forgot the day of week.
