Make hideshow behave more like org-mode

I wanted to have hideshow.el work more like org-mode, so I spent a little time to whip up hideshow-org.el. It doesn't integrate hideshow and org-mode. It simply makes TAB do double duty in code, both performing the regular code indentation as normal, and showing and hiding code blocks. If your code needs to be indented, TAB will indent. If no indentation is needed, then TAB will try to toggle the visibility of the block. I put together a screencast to demonstrate what it does. The screencast quickly goes over org-mode, hideshow, and then demonstrates hideshow-org. If you're already familiar with org-mode or hideshow, I'd recommend skipping to the 2:30 mark which shows exactly what hideshow-org does.

The code is available on github here. Here is the agenda to make the links easier to get at. Feedback is most welcome.

weblogger.el v2.0

I worked with e-blog for a little bit, but the interface was a little rough around the edges. I had tried using weblogger.el initially, but it didn't work entirely correctly with Blogger. I supposed it was because Blogger had deprecated its XML-RPC interface for its GData interface. So I took some time to try and integrate GData support into weblogger.el. I based most of the XML wrangling off of e-blog's code. And I tried to streamline weblogger.el's configuration step, so that it relied mainly on emacs customization rather than an interactive configuration step.

I am going to spend some time using the code before I announce it on emacswiki, but so far it's looking pretty good. Here's what the interface looks like for the beginning of this entry that I am composing. (Yes, I want more "screenshots" for emacs applications. There are too few!)

The code is available on github. I am anointing it version 2.0 because it probably has broken something. I still have a few ideas for what I'd like to see in the future, like Markdown integration, and perhaps a *Buffer List* like mode to look at all your blog entries.

Emacs Blogger Support

I am an emacs guy, so of course, I want to edit my blog from emacs. No biggie, I thought. I thought g-client was going to be it since I believe it is maintained by google, and I could post an entry easily enough. However, I could not edit an entry. The library had the facilities for it given I knew what the edit URL was, and despite digging down into some of google's technical documentation I was not able to find it. Anyway, my synopsis for g-client with respect to blogging is that it's a plumbing library; it is not what you would actually want to use to do blog entries. It's what you would want to use to perhaps build an emacs module to do blogging.

I looked into a number of different libraries, and I finally came across e-blog. It gave me a decent user interface that allowed me to post and edit blog entries without having to finagle with any plumbing. Here's what the interface looks like:
