(cl-defun alpha-org-blog-subtree (&key nocopy) "Copy the subtree, converted to HTML, for pasting into Blogger as a blog post. If there is an active region, use that instead. This also works generically, because Blogger uses what Org will output as body-only. So it could be called `alpha-org-html'. No other software needs to be installed. No temporary file is created. No file is created. A buffer is created. For an example of this code in action, see . === You have to turn off Blogger's conversion of newline to br tags in settings and in the new Blogger post editor (the old editors do not have that option) and in the Blogger pages editor (if you use pages). This makes Blogger more compatible. Extra blank lines are normally ignored in HTML (w3m and Firefox on .html), so it makes sense to make Blogger ignore them instead of converting them. Org sometimes leaves extra blank lines, so it makes a difference. The HTML code is left in a buffer that is one buffer away in the buffer ring. To display it in a browser, use M-x browse-url-of-buffer or similar, but you can also use my wrappers that do it directly for you. === The top level headline by default is not exported, because Blogger already has a title. For both posts and pages, Blogger's title field forms the URL and is therefore manually entered. === Org variables: You can control what gets exported with org-export-with-*. I also find that (setq org-export-headline-levels 10) is useful. === Advanced: With non-interactive keyword NOCOPY, don't save the output in the kill ring. === I use Blogger.com for hosted blogging instead of Wordpress.com because Google has a better attitude toward accessibility.
