Blogging with Gleam, Org-Mode and Pandoc

I don't understand why gleam and pandoc are in there. Org-mode can already generate HTML. A little bit of Emacs Lisp turns it into a blogging engine.

I prefer to write words not code. I use WordPress because it hides all the complexity and lets me just write instead of messing with Markdown (or an entire separate system), CI pipelines, custom markup hacks for page features, Emacs cruft, etc..

Yeah WordPress is a security nightmare, but Ghost's editor sucks and there's no viable open-source alternatives with modern security and features.

mine has no org-mode...which is fine...I like markdown:

find . -name '*.md' -type f -exec sh -c '

  for file do  
    out="docs/${file#./}"  
    out="${out%.md}.html"
    mkdir -p "$(dirname "$out")"  
    pandoc --quiet --template template.html "$file" -o "$out"  
  done  
' sh {} +

This is a classic bell-curve meme. The midwit gets lost in complex setups, but the smartest approach is simply to write, regardless of the platform.
