Emacs 24, org-mode, org2blog, and WordPress

Posting to a wordpress blog from emacs, using org2blog.

Setting up org-mode

Install org-mode from their package archive at http://orgmode.org/elpa To do so, add to your package archives list in your .emacs 
  (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
Then install org-mode from M-x list-packages This is the relevant org-mode configuration from my .emacs 
  (require 'org-install)

  ;; Configure languages to run code for in org-mode
  (org-babel-do-load-languages
   'org-babel-load-languages
   '((perl . t)
     (ruby . t)
     (sh . t)
     (python . t)
     (emacs-lisp . t)
     (C . t)
     ))
  ;; Use native mode for fontifying code blocks
  (setq org-src-fontify-natively t)
  ;; Preserve indentation in exported code blocks
  (setq org-src-preserve-indentation t)
In order to use native fontification, you will also need htmlize, available from the melpa archive at http://melpa.org/packages/

Setting up org2blog

org2blog is also available from melpa. Once the package is installed, add to your .emacs to enable it. 
  (require 'org2blog)
  ;; Don't use sourcecode tags in wordpress
  (setq org2blog/wp-use-sourcecode-shortcode nil)
  ;; Default parameters for sourcecode tag
  (setq org2blog/wp-sourcecode-default-params nil)
In order to tell it about your blog, you create an alist named org2blog/wp-blog-alist. Mine looks like this You can then publish by first running M-x org2blog/wp-login, which will log in to your blog, and then posting the entry using M-x org2blog/wp-post-buffer 
(setq org2blog/wp-blog-alist
'(("sdowney"
   :url "http://www.sdowney.org/wordpress/xmlrpc.php"
   :username "sdowney"
   :default-title "Hello World"
   :default-categories ("org2blog" "emacs")
   :tags-as-categories nil)
  ))
