Using blogpost to manage and post to your wordpress blog is not exactly intuitive. There are commands and flags used in the command line that you need to remember; on top of that, you have to learn how to use AsciiDoc and a little HTML. What’s even worse—the documentation from Blogpost official site is not exactly informative. Sure, there are helpful text to be found there, but you have to dig pretty deep and keep an eye out for important information regarding the use of blogpost.

In any case, I have some notes to share here; mostly on the commands in the terminal.

For posting: <quote> $ blogpost create [your-asciidoc-text-file.txt] </quote>

For listing your entries: <quote> $ blogpost list </quote>

For deleting: <quote> $ blogpost delete —post-id=[ID-number] </quote>

For updating with your blog file: <quote> $ blogpost update [blog-text-file.txt] </quote>

For categorising: <quote> $ blogpost cat categories=[categories-seperated-with-commas] [blog-file] </quote>

That’s about the long and short of it.
