A quick update to blogmore.el. Having recently added series support to BlogMore it made sense that I then add a quick way of adding a post to a series in the package.

Selecting a series

You can, of course, set a new one too, but the idea here (as with categories and tags) is that you can quickly find back an existing series and add the current post to it.

Also, as with tags, the expectation is that either a single series is being used, or if more than one series is in play for a post they'll be listed as a comma-separated list. The issue here is that while BlogMore supports this:

series:
  - Some series of posts
  - Some other series of posts
  - Yet another series of posts

the frontmatter-handling code in blogmore.el isn't very sophisticated at all; it doesn't actually handle it as actual YAML, instead just treating it as a set of key/value pairs separated by a colon.

At some point soon I want to give blogmore.el a revamp and base all of the frontmatter-handling code on something like yaml.el. I did do some experimenting last night to drop it in and handle proper lists. It worked well enough, but I abandoned the work as I realised I really wanted to start again from scratch and build blogmore.el from the bottom up using that package.

Some time soon...
