Write and publish a website with just Emacs org-mode

Idea

Write a blog, but keep it simple. I know Emacs org-mode (well enough), and I need to build a static website with a blog. I don't really think I need a static pages compiler written in a language I don't know, and which has waaaay too much code for what I want to do. And, I don't really feel like installing, for instance, a whole Ruby ecosystem on my machine(s). Blech!

The setup file, init.el, was stolen from, er inspired by, http://nicolas-petton.fr/blog/blogging-with-org-mode.html.

What To Do

This repo is just a skeleton -- something for you/me to start out with.

1. Clone this repo.
2. Fire up emacs, visit the file init.el, edit it to suit you, then eval it.
3. Edit the .org files already under the src/ directory, or create new ones under src/.
4. When you're ready to publish, do a M-x org-publish website.
5. Point your browser to the htdocs/ directory to see the result.
6. Lather, rinse, repeat. (Face it; you're never going to get it right.)

TODO

• Write/steal some elisp to generate a roundup of blog posts on the main blog (landing) page.
