I've recently fallen in love with <code>org-mode</code>, specifically when I use it with <a href="https://www.orgroam.com/">org-roam</a>. I find the whole workflow of creating, tagging, and - later on - searching for information on my computer to be very elegant. On top of that, now that I have the time, I want to begin writing blog posts to better work out my thoughts. With both of these things in mind, I am again turning to the universal tool for human prospering: <code>org-mode</code>. This time, I want to see how it can help me turn a simple org file into a blog post on my website. My requirements are:

Next thing on our list is custom styling. This can be achieved by first installing the <code>htmlize</code> package from <code>melpa</code> / <code>elpa</code>. The EmacsWiki describes this as "a package for exporting the contents of an Emacs buffer to HTML while respecting display properties such as colors, fonts, underlining, invisibility, etc" (<a href="https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Htmlize">reference</a>). If used "out-of-the-box", the buffer will be exported to HTML with all of the styles inlined (e.g. if you underline something in your org file, you will generate a <code>&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline"&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;</code>). However, we are more interested in styling everything by ourselves: we don't want <code>htmlize</code> making assumptions about what underlining means to us! Luckily, <code>htmlize</code> gives us the option to export with class names instead of inline styles so that we can specify each style for ourselves.
