WebloggerMode

After 4 hours of looking on the internet, and fussing with emacs, I
finally (if this post submits) figured out a way to post to this blog
through emacs, instead of being forced to use the website.

First, load emacs, then paste the following in the buffer

(let ((buffer (url-retrieve-synchronously
      "http://tromey.com/elpa/package-install.el")))
  (save-excursion
    (set-buffer buffer)
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (re-search-forward "^$" nil 'move)
    (eval-region (point) (point-max))
    (kill-buffer (current-buffer))))

Then issue C-j (Command - j)

Then issue M-x (Alt - x) type "package-list-packages" (without the
quotes)

Scroll down until you find WebloggerMode press "i" scroll down to
xml-rpc press "i" then press "x" then edit your ~/.emacs file and add
"(require 'cl)" (without the quotes) to the bottom of the file, save,
restart emacs.

WebloggerMode usage commands:

 M-x weblogger-setup-weblog
 M-x weblogger-start-entry

;; C-x C-s    -- post-and-publish current buffer to the weblog.
;;               Calling weblogger-publish-entry with an prefix argument
;;               (i.e. C-u C-x C-s) will prompt for which weblog
;;               to use.
;; C-c C-c    -- save as draft and bury the buffer.
;; C-c C-n    -- post (but not publish) the current entry and
;;               load the next entry.
;; C-c C-p    -- post (but not publish) the current entry and
;;               load the previous entry.
;; C-c C-k    -- delete the current entry.
;; M-g        -- synchronise weblogger.el's idea of the entries available
;;               with the weblog server.
;; C-c C-t m  -- edit the main template.
;; C-c C-t a  -- edit the Archive Index template
;; C-c C-s s  -- Change the server being used.
;; C-c C-s w  -- Change the weblog.
;; C-c C-s u  -- Change the user (re-login).

You’ll need the “Server Endpoint”. Here are the values for various popular weblogging platforms:

Blogger.com:   http://www.blogger.com/api
Wordpress:     http://BLOG-URL/xmlrpc.php
                       http://hexmode.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php. http://example.com/weblog/xmlrpc.php)
LiveJournal:     http://www.livejournal.com/interface/blogger/
OpenWeblog:  http://www.openweblog.com/interface/blogger/
MovableType: http://CGI-URL/mt-xmlrpc.cgi
                       http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-xmlrpc.cgi
Drupal: Enable the Blogger API and use http://DRUPAL-URL/xmlrpc.php (like Wordpress).
