Blogging Made Simple

After taking some time off from work to focus on projects that I like to take on, I set out to find a simple way to use git and emacs workflow to start blogging again. Among plethora of options on the web, I came across this project - Org Static Blog - that I resonated with. It took me no time to set it up and start blogging. Below is my setup: 

(use-package org-static-blog
  :straight t
  :config
  ;; -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ;; Set up blogging in Emacs
  ;; -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  (setq org-static-blog-publish-title "BirkeyCo")
  (setq org-static-blog-publish-url "https://www.birkey.co/")
  (setq org-static-blog-publish-directory "~/github/oneness.github.io/")
  (setq org-static-blog-posts-directory "~/github/oneness.github.io/posts/")
  (setq org-static-blog-drafts-directory "~/github/oneness.github.io/drafts/")
  ;;(setq org-static-blog-enable-tags t)
  (setq org-export-with-toc nil)
  (setq org-export-with-section-numbers nil)

  (setq org-static-blog-page-header
	"<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Kasim Tuman\">
<meta name=\"referrer\" content=\"no-referrer\">
<link href= \"static/style.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" />
<link rel=\"icon\" href=\"static/favicon.ico\">
<link rel=\"apple-touch-icon-precomposed\" href=\"static/birkey_logo.png\">
<link rel=\"msapplication-TitleImage\" href=\"static/birkey_logo.png\">
<link rel=\"msapplication-TitleColor\" href=\"#0141ff\">
<script src=\"static/katex.min.js\"></script>
<script src=\"static/auto-render.min.js\"></script>
<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"static/katex.min.css\">
<script>document.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { renderMathInElement(document.body); });</script>
<meta http-equiv=\"content-type\" content=\"application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8\">
<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"initial-scale=1,width=device-width,minimum-scale=1\">")

  (setq org-static-blog-page-preamble
	"<div class=\"header\">
  <a href=\"https://birkey.co\">Code, Data and Network</a>
  <div class=\"sitelinks\">
    <a href=\"https://twitter.com/KasimTuman\">Twitter</a> | <a href=\"https://github.com/oneness\">Github</a>
  </div>
</div>")

  (setq org-static-blog-page-postamble
	"<div id=\"archive\">

  ;; This slows down org-publish to a crawl, and it is not needed since
  ;; I use magit anyway.
