Subject: Adding posts without using `hobix post`
Message-ID: <3f6072e0607120642h48291cf3jd6d2ad7dd97f7d4b@mail.gmail.com>

_why's website at hobix.com, suggests that adding a new post is as
simple as creating a new .yaml file in the entries directory (or a
subdirectory thereof) but, when I do this, I get various errors. From
adding a new yaml file in entries and then running `hobix upgen`:

*** Loading /home/jterk/blog/hobix.out.quick

	from /usr/bin/hobix:79

What else do I need to do to be able to add posts without using `hobix post`?

Thanks,

I have discovered the evil in my ways: I needed to add the 'created'
field. Mea culpa.

Useless post, but I'd thought I'd make you feel better by letting you
know that I made exactly the same mistake.  The next mistake to avoid is
screwing up the date format, which will also cause hobix to get mad at
you when you regen/upgen.

Hmm.. I hope my function doesn't break then; I'm working on some Hobix
related functions, and probably a related major mode, for Emacs. Right
now it's rather kludgy ;)

What might be nice is some sort of YAML schema validation, but that
requires someone to write a schema for the entry classes first (you, if
you've customized them any).
