I wanted to start a blog. After reviewing the existing engines I decided to write my own, as I couldn't find an option satisfying all my requirements. The requirements/design goals are:
- it must work in Emacs Org mode,
- the resulting blog must be just a bunch of static HTML/CSS/JS/etc. files,
- preferably, everything needed to generate a complete blog must reside in one Org mode file (I allow exceptions for images, fonts etc.),
- it should be as simple as possible so that molding it to fit someone else's requirements should be easy.
This way, Org Clive was born. There are a few missing features (most notably RSS, which I'm going to add soon), but it works, and it turned out to be less than 300 lines of Elisp! (It will be more once I add RSS and a few other things, but not too much). Note: if there is something missing you think should be there, it is probably so because I didn't need it for my blog.
