Better Publishing with Org

Table of Contents

1. The Problem

As mentioned in briefly in my post on learning more emacs, I'm looking to emacs as my productivity tool. It has been great so far, and I've even been able to publish better and quicker with it. Going from org file to exported html is incredibly easy. This problem is the exported html isn't completely reflective of what I'd like my blog to look like out of the box.

2. The Solution

I started with toggling org export settings on a off, with a slightly updated index page to be displayed (no timestamps, emacs version, org version, and no section numbers. This way great, and while I included tasks:nil in all of my org file headers, including this many manually was going not going to be fun. Fortunately, the youtube overlords recommened Build Your Website with Org Mode by System Crafters, and I started diving into learning more aobut it.

  1. First priority is to create a script that can work across all platform since I'm mainly on windows, the build.sh will not work for me (probably), which means using an .el file and knowing the commands.
  2. Get the easy-to-customize options in org exporting correct first
  3. Get the index page looking more like what I'd expect
  4. Finally, worry about theming and colors
