I have a file _compile_blog.pyw. I have a folder under my_documents > ongoing > blog. I also have an archive folder there. I move any completed blog posts into there. So for a new blog post I just start a new text file and I write it in markdown and I save it as a .txt file.
What the script does is it takes any .txt files that are in the current directory and converts them to html. It then adds the new blog post to the list of blog posts on blog_index.html.
Since my site is static (no php or any server sided language), I have to do all the processing (updating) locally before uploading all the file changes. It seems to be working fine so far. I hope that this workflow will stand the test of time.
