How Org-octopress works?

Assumed directory tree:

+ octopress
  + source
    + blog   <- (1) You compose YYYY-MM-DD-title.org
    + _posts <- (2) ox-jekyll.el exports to YYYY-MM-DD-title.html (w/ YAML)
  + public
    + blog   <- (3) Jekyll exports to YYYY-MM-DD-title.html (w/o YAML).

If you have some pictures to be included in your articles, I recommend you to locate them at a sub-directory of blog/. It’ll nice to maintain the relative position with article files.

In this work flow, YYYY-MM-DD-title.org will be also published to your web site. If you want to hide the original Org files, you will have to setup Octopress publish settings to exclude org files in your blog/ directory.

Basic Settings

Emacs Settings:

(require 'org-octopress)
(setq org-octopress-directory-top       "~/octopress/source")
(setq org-octopress-directory-posts     "~/octopress/source/_posts")
(setq org-octopress-directory-org-top   "~/octopress/source")
(setq org-octopress-directory-org-posts "~/octopress/source/blog")
(setq org-octopress-setup-file          "~/org-sty/setupfile.org")

Octopress Settings:

In octopress/_config.yml, you must set the permelink attribute:

permalink: /blog/:year-:month-:day-:title.html

How to use

1. M-x org-octopress
2. Compose YYYY-MM-DD-title.org in source/blog directory.
3. C-c C-e (org-export-dispatch) and type “P” “x” “octopress”
