blogpost media processing

blogpost 0.9.0 adds lots of new features to the previous 0.1.0 release. The most important feature in the blogpost 0.9.0 release is WordPress media file management:

• Media files (images, videos, audio, document) referenced in your AsciiDoc (or HTML) documents are automatically uploaded and linked to the uploaded blog.
• Only new or modified media files are uploaded (changes detected using cached MD5 checksums).
• Metadata caching means post options are remembered and don’t need to be repeated every time you update your posts.
• WordPress Pages can be posted and updated (blogpost includes a patched wordpresslib.py containing Page methods).

Blogging with AsciiDoc

Since this blog was written many new features have been added to blogpost — see blogpost media processing

I make lots of notes using AsciiDoc, the sort of stuff that’s to minor and/or not rigorous enough for formal publication, but possibly useful to others.

So I decided it was about time I started posting my notes to a blog. Creating and maintaining posts using the normal browser based interfaces was not an option — just to tedious for words. So I looked around for an HTML friendly blog host that could make a reasonable job of rendering AsciiDoc generated HTML.
