So that's 4 days without adding more stuff to #BlogMore (that's a good thing). On the other hand I just started a fresh repo on GitHub with a fresh project/obsession. Got to keep the green squares glowing I guess.
And, no, I'm not abandoning BlogMore -- it's genuinely in need of some calm time. Also, once it's well under way this new thing will be getting written about a fair bit.
Little update to blogmore.el to add a series link insert command: https://blog.davep.org/2026/06/14/blogmore-el-v5-3-0.html
I've made a small update to blogmore.el to fix a couple of issues with the new frontmatter reading approach: https://blog.davep.org/2026/06/11/blogmore-el-v5-1-0.html

I've updated #BlogMore to v2.43.0; this release adds control over the version and location of third-party resources: https://blog.davep.org/2026/06/11/blogmore-v2-43-0.html
After recently adding Mermaid and maths support to BlogMore, I got to thinking that it now has connections with a handful of third-party resources. While almost all of them are optional (only FontAwesome comes close to being a hard requirement), it does mean that there are resources the user doesn't directly supply or control, and for which the URLs are hard-coded in the source for BlogMore.
I've managed to migrate blogmore.el from its good-enough regex-based hacky frontmatter handling code to a proper YAML based parser that will properly handle lists and the like. Also migrated it to use the new #BlogMore dump commands for getting categories, tags and series from a blog.
Gonna sit on the PR over night (mostly 'cos it's time to carry on with my Stargate SG-1 rewatch marathon), but I think it's clean and a real improvement.
I've updated blogmore.el with a command for setting the series of a post: https://blog.davep.org/2026/06/09/blogmore-el-v4-7-0.html
#BlogMore v2.42.0, with some enhancements to the dump command: https://blog.davep.org/2026/06/08/blogmore-v2-42-0.html
I've released #BlogMore v2.41.0, which adds optional support for Mermaid diagrams and LaTeX-style maths markup in pages and posts; if you're into that sort of thing. https://blog.davep.org/2026/06/07/blogmore-v2-41-0.html
It's probably bad news if I have a Saturday afternoon and evening spare, a fully-charged laptop and a comfy sofa. It seems that when that happens, something like BlogMore v2.41.0 happens. This is a release where I've added two features that could be generally useful, but which I'm unlikely to use in my own blogs.
Like, for real, I should not be left alone with a laptop and a sofa on a Saturday evening.
A quick fix to the #BlogMore linting command so that it knows about the series URLs: https://blog.davep.org/2026/06/06/blogmore-v2-40-1.html
