Dave Pearson#BlogMore v2.12.0 is out, with a couple of improvements to the sitemap and the ability to index the stats page: https://blog.davep.org/2026/04/10/blogmore-v2-12-0.html
I've released #BlogMore v2.11.0, with this version adding more streak-based stats and a whole blog calendar/history view. Because why the hell not.
I've released v2.10.0 of #BlogMore, my blog-oriented static site generator. This release adds a post streak display to the stats page. Got to keep that writing streak going!

"I use static site generators for my sites. I call out to external APIs to do anything dynamic. The exception is password protection. I'd always thought that needed to be done dynamically on a site's host server. I realized with WASM that's not the case. Files can be encrypted and served statically with a WASM process providing decryption directly on the front end."

blogmore.el v4.0 is available, with a tag removing command and a handful of utility functions made "public": https://blog.davep.org/2026/04/06/blogmore-el-v4-0.html
blogmore.el v4.0
Despite having bumped it from 2.x to 3.x yesterday, I'm calling v4.0 on blogmore.el today. There's a good reason for this though. While tinkering with some of the configuration yesterday, and also answering a configuration question last night, I realised that it made sense to make some of the internals into public utility functions.
So blogmore.el has had a pretty big overhaul with a pretty big breaking change so now we're up to v3.1: https://blog.davep.org/2026/04/05/blogmore-el-v3-1.html
blogmore.el v3.1
When I first started writing blogmore.el it was just going to be a handful of commands that let me spin up a new blog post, and insert the odd link here and there when needed. Initially it only handled a single blog, and everything it did was based around how I lay my personal blog out, and was also very much geared to how I'd made BlogMore work.
BlogMore v2.9.0 is available, with better styling for keys marked up with <kbd>: https://blog.davep.org/2026/04/04/blogmore-v2-9-0.html
BlogMore v2.9.0
After releasing blogmore.el v2.6 this morning, I noticed something about the post: the text that was marked up with <kbd> wasn't really standing out as keys. In blog posts, as in documentation, if I mention the name of a key, I like to mark it up with <kbd>. Ideally, with such markup, the styling of the page it's being used on will make it clear that it's supposed to be read as a key.
So I needed to make a second release of blogmore.el in one day: https://blog.davep.org/2026/04/04/blogmore-el-v2-7.html
blogmore.el v2.7
There's no question that the experiment that is BlogMore has resulted in me blogging more. Although my previous setup wasn't exactly all friction, there's something about "owning" most of the tools and really knowing how they work, and being able to quickly modify them so they work "just so", that makes me more inclined to quickly write something up.
I've released blogmore.el v2.6, which adds a useful menu approach using transient.
