Before I really get started on posting blog entries for this, it was imperative I figure out a way to blog from Emacs. Cause really, what self-respecting Lisper blogs from a tiny text field in a web browser? Madness.
So, if you also want or have a blog on this site and want to do it in emacs:
- go get weblogger.el I just used ELPA, but there's a later version available.
- Once you've got that loaded, do
M-x weblogger-setup-weblog. When it asks you for the Server Endpoint, enterhttp://www.lispnyc.org/blog/xmlrpc. The other parameters (username, password, blog name) should be self explanatory. - Profit
There are some issues. Authentication is plaintext, I have to manually type the entries in HTML. But it's still better than a web form!

I used a Chrome extension called 'Edit with Emacs'. It puts tiny edit buttons around all the text areas in Chrome. When you click on them, it brings up a new frame from your running Emacs session. You edit away, and when you're done, you type C-x s. I find this pretty useful in general, and it gets me far enough so that I don't feel I need stuff like weblogger.el.
Good luck!
