Blogger integration with Emacs

This blog post is published using my latest hack: Blogger integration in Emacs.

I can write my post in an emacs buffer, using Muse markup. I then run M-x bl/post, type the title and the post will be automatically published.

I will post the source code to it soon. I need to do some more testing first.

However, there are some problems for anyone wanting to use this. For some inexplicable reason, Google has a manual process where you have to apply to be allowed to use their API to Blogger. It applied at least twice, and it took days before I got any response. I'm not the only one, as the Blogger dev group is full of people asking how they get access to the API.

I will post the source on Github shortly.
