'blogpost' is a Wordpress command-line weblog client.  It creates and

updates weblog entries directly from

http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/[AsciiDoc] (or HTML) source

documents. You can also delete and list weblog entries from the

command-line.

- Manages WordPress Posts and Pages.

- Automatically uploads media files (images, video, audio).

- Only posts new or modified media files.

This 'blogpost' command creates a blogpost containing images from an

AsciiDoc text file:

$ blogpost.py post blogpost_media_processing.txt

Status

------

Latest version in http://code.google.com/p/blogpost/[Mercurial

repository at Google Code].

See also the http://srackham.wordpress.com/blogpost1/[blogpost(1) man

page].

Current version tested under:

- Xubuntu 12.04

- Python 2.7.3

'blogpost' uses Michele Ferretti’s

http://www.blackbirdblog.it/programmazione/progetti/28[Python

Wordpress library] and comes with a patched version of the

`wordpreslib.py` library module (the patch added WordPress 'Page'

XML-RPC methods).

Prerequisites

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

- Python 2.5 or better (has not been tried with earlier versions).

- http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/[AsciiDoc] (unless you only plan

  to source raw HTML documents).

Installation

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

- Clone the http://code.google.com/p/blogpost/[Mercurial repository at

  Google Code] to your local machine.

- Put `blogpost.py` in search path (optional).

- Install the Wordpress backend plugin:

  asciidoc --backend install ./conf/wordpress.zip

- Create `$HOME/.blogpost` configuration file (see example

  `conf/blogpost_example.conf`).

- Disable 'emoticons' from the Wordpress browser interface (optional):

  1. Login.

  2. Navigate to 'Settings->Writing->Writing Settings' page.

  3. Uncheck 'Convert emoticons' in the 'Formatting' section (this

     option stops the automatic conversion of text patterns to

     emoticons).

[NOTE]

=====================================================================

As of AsciiDoc 8.6.9 the 'wordpress' backend conf file

`wordpress.conf` is no longer included in the AsciiDoc distribution --

it's included here in the blogpost distribution as a backend plugin

(`conf/wordpress.zip`).

=====================================================================

Bugs

----

- Under some circumstances WordPress converts three periods to an

  elipsis character and double dashes to the em dashes, there doesn't

  seem to be a way to turn this off.

- WordPress does not appear to recognise list numbering styles and all

  numbered lists are rendered with decimal numbering (WordPress

  default theme).

- WordPress nested unordered lists all have the same bullet style

  (WordPress default theme).

- Large posts can result in blank WordPress pages (I experienced this

  posting the AsciiDoc User Guide which is over five thousand lines

  long). The problem seems to be with WordPress:
