[Orgmode] Blogging org entries using google command line.

[Richard Riley]

Using the google command line you can get some super access to all your
Google resources - including docs, calendars &  blogs.

http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/

Once you have installed it and set up your OAUTH you can easily
manipulate/add/delete things in your google hosted data.

While not polished and featuring hard coded blog name the following
function uses the google command line tool to blog the current
org-entry.

  (defun rgr/org-blog-entry ()
    (interactive)
    (save-excursion
      (let ((tmpheading (org-get-heading)))
          (goto-char (org-entry-beginning-position))
          (set-mark (org-entry-end-position))
          (let*((tmpfile (make-temp-file "org-blog-html-"))
               (blog-command (concat "google blogger post --blog \"Open Sauce\" 
--title '" tmpheading "' "  tmpfile )))
            (org-export-as-html 1 nil nil (find-file-noselect tmpfile) t)
            (with-current-buffer (get-file-buffer tmpfile) (save-buffer))
            (start-process-shell-command "Google Blog" "*googlecl*" 
blog-command)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

At some point I'll try and make it more generic with customised options
if no one beats me to it ..

regards

r.
