Giving weblogger.el a try

with 4 comments

Because I’m a bit disappointed from KBlogger, I’m currently trying out weblogger.el. The configs were easily created by the weblogger-setup-weblog function.

The interface when writing a blog entry is nice and borrowed from Gnus’ message mode. But there are far too much items in the menu, and most of them are about newsgroups/mail and don’t fit here (But that’s on the TODO list).

One thing I’m missing is that I cannot set the category of my blog entry, so I’ll always have to do it manually in the web interface, but I see, categories are on the TODO list, too.

What’s a bit daunting is that the last CVS commit was nearly 9 month ago and even the project’s homepage http://elisp.info/package/weblogger/ is not available anymore. I hope this project isn’t dead!

What blogging software do you use? (Emacs preferred but at least it has to run with GNU/Linux)

UPDATE: Another nice feature is that you can fetch all entries from the server and update them. The problem with it: The entry does not change on the server.
