As mentioned in an earlier post, I changed my blogging workflow to org2blog for writing and editing posts in Emacs and only push them up to my WordPress blog when the posts are almost done. I still do the final editing in WordPress so I can tweak the SEO settings and all that, but the majority of the work happens in org-mode now.

One area that really needed improving was the appearance of the source code that I put in posts. Before I started using org-mode for blogging I edited the code in Emacs, ran it through htmlize and pasted it into my blog post.. That way the Emacs theme I’m using also determined what the generated HTML looked like and it allowed me to control the code’s appearance to a certain extent. Once I moved to org-mode, I just got a generic htmlize output.
