Hello all!
This is my personal blog, built using emacs and org mode. Feel free to browse the repo if you are interested in the source code (it may be in spaghetti form, but I believe it is unique as far its performance and obviously implementation is taken into consideration), or to visit the web site itself and read its articles.
You can find the link for the web site here!
- Make-it all happen
- Generating an Index with elisp
- Publishing blog with Elisp
- Org-static-blog Functions
The site is built by publishing, through org-publish, org mode files
into html. The actual conversion is specified in build-site.el.
The aspect I find the most unorthodox, and actually want to tackle, is
the way that I have based everything on elisp, for which I do not know
a lot. This causes:
- The whole blog to be translated on every change, which even though it is relatively harmless when I publish on Github, happens only once and allows for detailed feedback, results in great time loss.
I plan to simplify the process as much as possible, allowing for easier publishing and more features, such as link previews, tag grouping, searches…and more. To do this, it is vital to build a scalable and easily maintainable core. I do not want to leave emacs (since I like the “hacky” aspect), so all that is left is
- [ ] Check the way I always regenerate static files - maybe it is not necessary for my local repo, saving me time
- [ ] Split index-generation and build, presumably by adding all variables to a separate file to be loaded
- [ ] Split tasks and remove tasks that need not be in emacs from emacs
- [ ] An example would be statically copying files -> easier as a make task.
- [ ] Enforce common policies among articles
- [ ] Images only in one parent directory:
images, to avoid clutter - [ ] Tags on all articles, no need for categories
- [ ] Images only in one parent directory:
- [ ] Implement a better header
- [ ] Table of contents to be movable on the side (in bigger screens)
