Just tying up loose ends on this...
Tim Burt was kind enough to go offline with me for a while on this, but I
realized I should put my final solution out there. There is an option in
blogger to post in raw html, so for those just starting, that's an option.
Just C-u C-c C-e C-R and paste into blogger. I already had some 30 posts and
re-doing them would have been awful. Here's what I ended up doing:
- write up post in org-mode
- highlight region
- C-u C-c C-e C-R
- new file and yank the html
- write the file as export.txt
- in a terminal run: perl -pi -e ' s/\R//g; s/\p\//g; s/\\/p\/\n\n/g;'
export.txt
--- This removes the begin paragraph tag and replaces the end paragraph tag
with some new-line characters.
- refresh export.txt
- copy the whole buffer and then paste into blogger
Paragraph beginnings have two spaces that I go through and delete and since
I also write to export to LaTeX I use \quote and need to go through and
change them to blockquote/blockquote where necessary. I obviously also
have to clean up LaTeX only stuff... It's hardly any work and I can live
with it, especially since I get the power of org-mode for writing things up
along with it's mutli-faceted export capabilities *and* the fact that I have
the file with me rather than just on blogger.
For what its worth, perhaps someone can gain from this!

It's been working great and

@ Giovanni: the manual says \n:nil does not work. I played around with it
anyway but was unsuccessful. Bummer as it seemed like it would have been
perfect...
@ TIm, I am aware of this option and it's what I was referencing in the
original note with:
I could resort to explicit html every time I post (requiring br \
for every line break) but this would also require fixing all
pre-existing posts which is pretty much not an option.
But what about my point that currently all my posts do not use this? When I
experimented with this option yesterday it turned old posts into huge run-on
paragraphs with no structure, hence I don't really think it's an option
unless I re-edit every post. Going forward, it'd be easier to somehow get
rid of line breaks... though maybe I should just write my own template or
something. I don't really use p in my posts anyway but prefer the single
line space created by just on br \.
I dunno -- any thoughts? Should I re-do like 30 posts for this? Is there
any other way?
Thanks for the help, all.

... but I do not need to delete line breaks. See
http://naturallogofx.rketburt.org/2010/07/linebreaks-blogger-and-org-mode.html
for an article that describes what I do. The fix for me was in the
Blogger settings, not anything in emacs.
Is there a way to get org to just publish the blob without breaking
lines every time?
I do not know how to prevent line breaks in the export, but nor have I
needed to do that.
I'm guessing it has to do with my minor fill mode as the line breaks
tend to be the same as they are in org.
In typical export, everything is surrounded by html tags but in
blogger on
doesn't have these and thus line breaks are line breaks.
The article reference above indicates how to stop Blogger from
presenting an input linebreak (e.g. newline character) as an output
linebreak.
I could resort to explicit html every time I post (requiring br \
for every line break) but this would also require fixing all
pre-existing posts which is pretty much not an option.
Any idea what I could do?
Let me know if the article reference does not help solve the issue.
Tim
Thanks,
