I've bumped blogmore.el to v2.3. The main change in this release, which I've had on my mental to-do list for a couple of days now, revolves around categories, tags and case.

I've got BlogMore set up so that it's pretty relaxed about case when it comes to categories and tags; so when it comes to generated files and URLs everything collapses to lowercase. However, blogmore.el wasn't taking this into account.

While it wasn't a serious issue, it did have the side-effect that, if you had a tag of lisp and a tag of Lisp, both would appear in the list of tags you could complete from. Also, when you went to add a tag to the tags frontmatter (via the blogmore-add-tag command), if you selected Lisp and lisp was already there, you'd end up with both versions after the command finished.

ℹī¸ Note

As mentioned earlier: BlogMore itself would collapse Lisp and lisp to the same tag; the downside here is you'd see both tags shown in the post itself. Not a real problem, just not very tidy.

So earlier I changed things up a little; first cleaning up when loading pre-existing values and then ensuring the newly-set tags are deduplicated.

This now means I can edit and update a post even faster, without needing to worry about accidentally duplicating tags. This in turn reduces the friction to writing a post for my blog. That is, after all, the whole point of the name of the package and the blogging tool it's connected to!
