Emacs usecases 4 - Blogging 2

Previous in series: 3 - LaTeX

In this post I wrote about how to use Emacs for blogging. That's nice in itself, but there's some stuff needed when editing blog posts. Thus, blog.el:

;;;###autoload
(defun blog-init ()
  (interactive)
  (html-mode)
  (auto-fill-mode)
  (ispell-change-dictionary "american" t)
  (flyspell-mode)
)

Another improvement is adding the .blog file extension to the It's All Text Firefox extension. Last thing is associating it with our little init function. This took some googling, but the solution, in .emacs:

(autoload 'blog-init "blog")
---SNIP---
(push '("\\.blog\\'" . blog-init) auto-mode-alist)

Another degree of perfection reached by Emacs.
