Blogging with XEmacs

I am now using Mark Hershberger's Emacs implementation of the Blogger API talking to this blog to make entries. What's nice about this is it uses all lisp code as opposed to previous implementations that required an external Perl script to work. Posting, as you can see from this entry, appears to work fine, given Movable Type's excellent support of the Blogger API. What's terrific about this is that I can now edit stuff in a real editor (what would also be interesting would be to get this hooked up to BBEdit somehow), not constrained by the awful browser-based textbox. I was mostly typing in XEmacs or BBEdit and pasting into the browser anyway.
