Chen Bin asked me to share my Nikola+Org work-flow, and share an example post.

The org source for any post can be found by changing the URL of a post from .html to .org.

I don’t have much of a work-flow, because I don’t post too often, but here is what I typically do, to make a new post.

I start off by creating a new post using

$ nikola new_post

and then give the post a title and start editing the post in Emacs.

I have a simple snippet that lets me insert tags, based on existing tags.

Once I’m happy with the content of a post, I run nikola auto to build the source and serve it locally, and see if the post “looks” reasonable, after being rendered.

Once, I’m happy with it, I commit the post and deploy it using nikola deploy.

I also have a plugin, that posts captured bookmarks and quotes onto the blog, with a single command. I should probably make the sources of my blog open, and push it onto GitHub.
