#BlogMore v2.19.0 is now available. This has a couple of fixes and a small cache-busting improvement: https://blog.davep.org/2026/05/04/blogmore-v2-19-0.html

BlogMore v2.19.0

While I'm messing around in the background of BlogMore, looking at the state of the code and looking for opportunities to clean it up, either by hand, or by pitting agent against agent, I've also been doing the odd little fix here and there.

Looking over the duplication of effort in an #AI codebase: https://blog.davep.org/2026/04/30/duplication-of-effort.html

Duplication of effort

While I don't, for a moment, think that the work on BlogMore is complete, I think it's fair to say that the rate of new feature additions has slowed down. Which is fine, there's only so much I need from a self-designed/directed static site generator; at a certain point there's a danger of adding features for the sake of it.

#BlogMore v2.18.0 is now a thing, with a richer tooltip in the graph, modified times shown for modified posts, and a wee feature request by @andyc

BlogMore v2.18.0

After releasing the graph view yesterday I got to thinking that it might be nice if the "tooltips" for the nodes in the graph were a little richer. Since we already know how many posts are within a category, or have a specific tag, it makes sense that those counts should be shown; posts themselves have descriptions available and some even have cover images that could be turned into thumbnails. Why not make use of all of that?

I've updated blogmore.el with a couple of commands for working with the comment invite facility: https://blog.davep.org/2026/04/28/blogmore-el-v4-3-0.html

#emacs #elisp #lisp #blogmore #ssg #programming

blogmore.el v4.3.0

After adding the email comment invite facility to BlogMore it only made sense that I add some commands to blogmore.el to make it easier to edit the front matter that can help drive that feature.

I felt the need to make the "tooltip" for nodes in the #BlogMore post graph a little richer...

I wonder if this will make #BlogMore more expensive to toy with. https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/github-copilot-is-moving-to-usage-based-billing/ 🤔

I've released #BlogMore v2.17.0, which adds optional "email me your comments" support, and also an optional graph view of the blog.

BlogMore v2.17.0

I did some more tinkering with BlogMore yesterday, adding two new features. The first is one I've been considering adding for a wee while now.

Experimenting with the inevitable graph of stuff in #BlogMore

Today's "oh, shit, I should add..." feature experiment with #BlogMore is inviting comments by email, with global and per-post settings (including template expansion of email addresses allowing per-post addresses).

```
invite_comments: true
invite_comments_to: "you+{slug}@example.com"
```

sort of thing.

I've updated #BlogMore to v2.16.0; this release adds some optional internal backlink display support, as well as a new stats table for most-internally-linked posts: https://blog.davep.org/2026/04/25/blogmore-v2-16-0.html

BlogMore v2.16.0

BlogMore has had a new release, bumping the version to v2.16.0. There are two main changes in this update, both coming from a single idea: internal back-links.
