twordpress

==========

A command line tool to manage your blogs on ``wordpress.com``.

Configuration file 

------------------

Create configuration file ``~/.config/twordpress/config`` with following entry::

    [blog0]

    url=dilawarrajput.wordpress.com

    name=Dilawar's Blog

    user=dilawars

    password=pass

    [blog1]

    name=Dilawar's Notes

    url=dilawarnotes.wordpress.com

    user=dilawars

    password=abababaaati

If you choose to store this file to some other location then you should pass

``--config path/to/twordpressrc`` like option to the ``twordpress`` command.

Dependencies

------------ 

A fork of the library

https://github.com/maxcutler/python-wordpress-xmlrpc/blob/master/docs/index.rst

is included in this version. 

You can install ``pandoc``. This application turn ``html`` to ``markdown``

format and vice-versa. I can do more but this is what we need. If ``pandoc`` is

not available then it uses a python script to turn html to text.

Proxy support is added recently to ``python-wordpress-xmlrcp``. It reads

environment variable ``http_proxy``. If you are behind proxied network, then

``export http_proxy=proxy.something.net:1212`` in your bash. And we are good to

go.

  

3. Fetch posts 

--------------

Following commands fetches post::

    twordpress --blog 1 --fetch all

    twordpress --blog 0 --fetch "Python is awesome"

    twordpress 

First command will download all posts and pages from ``blog1``. And second will

download all posts which matches the given query from ``blog0``. Third command

will download most recent entries from default blog (``blog0``). Currently it

does not download media.

  

Each post gets its own directory and two files ``conetent.md`` and

``content.html`` are created. Edit markdown file and run the following command

to update the post.

4. Updating post 

----------------

Following command update the blog. ::

    $twordpress --blog 0 --update path_to_new_content.md

5. Create new post 

------------------

This command post a new post::

    

    $twordpress --blog 1 --new new_blog.md

The new blog is written in markdown format but a meta-data has to be prefixed.

This is how your blog file should look like.::

     ---

     title: This is title of my awesome post

     status: publish

     tags: [some awesome tag, tag2]

     categories: [catA, some_category]

     ---

     Here is content of blog in markdown format.

     Too much has already been written. This ends my blog.
