I wanted to have some place to write about distinct coding experiences, so I had to write a blog. I didn’t want to use a static site generator such as Hugo or Jekyll due to two reasons:

1. On one hand, I wanted an old, very simple style. I like Prof. Dr. Style, also called brutalistic minimalism, and even yet simpler (cf. for example sahilister’s Reimagined Doodle or glandium). But I found a few blogs I liked were done with Org Mode. For example, UNWINDPROTECT (wonderful), In illo tempore… (really lovely), Eric Schulte blogs. I know, you can tell me I can build a site with this style with static site generators (see “Prof. Dr.” Style, re-imagined). Indeed, I also got other webpages I really liked built that way from the same source where I found the Web Pages Made with Org-Mode shown before: Bastien Guerry, public voit or Peter J. Jones are some examples. But then, there is a second reason.
2. I wanted to keep the source of the blog simple and understandable, things that I only could get keeping just with orgmode and their extensions (ox-publish, ox-rss, etc.)

Then I looked for some attractive blogs sharing their sources or other webpages with guides to use Org mode to write a blog.

• The explanations in How to blog with Emacs Org mode (and the corresponding publish.el file) and Build Your Website with Org Mode were very useful as a first approximation. Building a Emacs Org-Mode Blog seems to be another helpful guide.
• I could understand better the publishing process by means of Creating a blog tusharhero’s page guide.
• Then, I found Duncan Mac-Vicar P. blog (and its publish.el file), which I decided to adopt as a base for a beautiful blog with a simple source code/structure.
• A wonderful blog with source code shared is rw-r–r– | writepermission.com by Toon Claes, but I saw it relatively soon, and it seemed to me very complicated (I am a beginner with Emacs Lisp; even more, I only use Emacs fairly frequently since March this year).
• Another really interesting and helpful blog was Frédéric Santos’ notebook.
• Another interesting blog is Alex’s Slip-box.
