Apparently tags and categories are not the same thing to jekyll. https://superdevresources.com/tag-cloud-jekyll/ https://jovandeginste.github.io/2016/05/04/add-a-tag-cloud-to-my-jekyll-site.html

hmm, seems that the org-export to .md function has disappeared. Prompted me to try a new blogging layer for spacemacs. https://allysonjulian.com/posts/blogging_with_spacemacs_and_jekyll/ https://github.com/0x414A/spacemacs-jekyll

The spacemacs-jekyll layer is in .emacs.d/private/jekyll It uses the hyde layer @ .emacsd/elpa/hyde-20160507.2008

It shouldn’t be auto-updating, so any mods I make to it shouldn’t get overwritten. Possibly my mods actually do in the elpa subdir, where they are vulnerable to overwrites.

I hope it doesn’t require too many changes to my old setup.

Seems like I will have to modify the template generator for the yaml header section of new posts. It leaves out the language and date variables I need to sort my posts.

blogging with the jekyll layer involves hitting SPC a j when you have a file open in emacs in your blog’s directory. hmm.

ok, seems like it lets me “skip”

  1. export from org-mode to .md

  2. jekyll build

To create a new post:

  1. SPC a d - dired window, go to blog dir

  2. pick any file

  3. SPC a j - jekyll layer window

  4. n - new post

4.5 fixed !

how: edit the file hyde.el, section

(defun hyde/new-post (title)
      (insert "date: 2017-MM-DD TT:TT:TT \n")
      (insert "categories: \n")
      (insert "lang: end\n")
      (insert "ref: \n")

still todo: make date/time automatic

old: add lines in YAML header

date: 2016-09-01 16:48:44 +0333 lang: en (or he) categories: ref: someName ## this is the same for translations of the same post

  1. SPC a j arrow to the post you just created c - commit the post

  2. M-x magit-push - pushes the blog post to github pages.

huh, looks like I had to edit org-export-backends in .emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-date/org.el http://randomgeekery.org/post/2014/exporting-from-org-to-markdown/ had to add md to the list. now i can/could compose in .org instead of .md, then my code blocks would actually be executable, I guess really for my current workflow I need to blog from .Rmd, is that possible? https://www.r-bloggers.com/blogging-with-rmarkdown-knitr-and-jekyll/

Ok, it’s been possible for more than a year. I guess that’s something I could look into then since I seem to prefer rmarkdown at the moment to org-babel-tangle-R blocks.
