BlogMax Code
This page describes how I use BlogMax to maintain my weblog,
End the War on Freedom. I spend an hour or two most days reading
news and inserting links and commentary into the day's weblog page.
My typing is indented and in:
bold code font
.
Text in the blog is indented and in:
code font
To begin, look at the calendar. Today is 9 June, 2001. In yymmdd
language, that's 010609. So I open that text file in my weblog
directory:
C-x C-f e:/editthispage/010609.txt
Next I traverse my daily links. Let's suppose I find a story at
LewRockwell.com, say a new Patricia Neill article. I copy the article
link from my web browser's address line, go back to Emacs, and paste
it in:
C-M-a
At this point, my Emacs buffer looks something like:
<a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/neill/neill23.html">
</a>
Copy the story title form the web browser, and paste it into the
weblog:
C-y
yielding:
<a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/neill/neill-010607.html">
If I have to Pay Reparations for Slavery . . .</a>
Then copy Patti's name from the browser and enter it and the story
location:
C-p C-a C-o C-y at LewRockwell.com -
yielding:
Patricia Neill at LewRockwell.com -
<a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/neill/neill23.html">
If I have to Pay Reparations for Slavery . . .</a>
Enter a few comments on the article yielding:
Patricia Neill at LewRockwell.com -
<a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/neill/neill-010607.html">
If I have to Pay Reparations for Slavery...</a> - If Patti is going
to be taxed to pay for slavery, she is damn well gonna get some
slaves. The black market will take care of it. Only, what will she do
with slaves?
Copy a quote from the article, and paste it in with a surrounding
blockquote:
C-M-u
yielding:

<a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/neill/neill23.html">
If I Have to Pay Reparations for Slavery . . .</a> - If Patti is going
to be taxed to pay for slavery, she is damn well gonna get some
slaves. The black market will take care of it. Only, what will she do
with slaves?
<blockquote>
It makes no logical sense to ask me to pay reparations for slavery
unless I have personally indulged in slavery and caused some actual
harm thereby. So if \"free money\" is to be made from my alleged
\"white guilt,\" I think it only fair that I have something to be
guilty of. And I plan to be plenty guilty before I'd be willing to
allow any government silly enough to call me its \"subject\" to take
my money for reparations for slavery.
</blockquote>
Finally, remember to give Lew credit by pasting in a source link (I
put square brackets around source links):

And one entry is done. It looks like this in the browser:
Patricia Neill at LewRockwell.com -
If I Have to Pay Reparations for Slavery . . . - If Patti is going
to be taxed to pay for slavery, she is damn well gonna get some
slaves. The black market will take care of it. Only, what will she do

Make a few more entries, and it's time to publish. Every time I
save with C-x C-s, BlogMax generates HTML and I check it out in the
web browser. Now I type C-x C-i to generate the index, check that out
in the web browser, and type C-0 C-x C-i to regenerate this month's
pages, the RSS channel, and upload everything via FTP.
Oops, I forgot to add a title. Do that, publish the page again, create
the index and upload it:
M-< M-! Patti, Frog Farm Mirror, Radio Userland C-x M-s C-- C-1 C-x C-i
The top of the page now looks like:
<!--Patti, Frog Farm Mirror, Radio Userland-->
