[Emacsweblogs] Re: weblogger problem (probably really a doc bug)

[Tom Robinson]

Mark:


Thanks. Since this thread is somewhat mixed as well, I'll go briefly down 
the line:

* I pulled down your latest files and tested them. Seem to be fine at my end.

* I agree with many of those suggested features, though being on holiday, 
I don't have quite much time to write a proper response. I especially like 
the Org Mode idea and tags support.


I'd also like to chip in a quick .emacs macro to kick out "<!--more-->" 
and a visual line:

(global-set-key (kbd "\C-c m") "<!--more-->\n---\n")

... which is one of those little things that has been surprisingly useful, 
in the case of WordPress.


At any rate, I'm on-list now, so any new features, ideas, and such will 
be routed here.

Thanks,
- Tom Robinson
