Searching for high-res images with your search engine and then copying the (low-res) thumbnail preview into your #presentation & enlarging it to full-screen is a sign of bad #education, I'm afraid. 😔 #PIM
Btw, never use #JPEG for anything else than photographs! Prefer #PNG or even #SVG.

I usually solve problems by myself.
But recently, I have come to think that relying on others to solve problems is not a bad idea.
Because when a kind person helps me, I naturally want to help others who have the same problem.
Kind people make me a kind person.
.. ok, last one.. org-map-entries is even better :D
(defun temp/do-at-heading ()
"Function designed to be called at the beginning of an Org heading."
(let ((el (org-element-at-point)))
;; Just for example: Simply sets a "title" property to the title
;; of the subtree.
(org-set-property "title" (org-element-property :title el))))
(org-map-entries #'temp/do-at-heading)
Actually as you need to modify the Org buffer, `org-element-map` might be a wrong choice here.
Something like this might be better
(defun temp/update-heading-properties ()
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (search-forward-regexp "^*+\\s-" nil :noerror)
(let ((el (org-element-at-point)))
;; For example; just sets a "title" prop to the
;; title of the subtree.
(org-set-property "title" (org-element-property :title el))))))
@postroutine It's possible but you will need to write a custom #elisp function to do that, using `org-element-map` + `org-set-property`.
I'm chugging along.

I dont see a lot of #100DaysToOffload hashtags recently ... everybody gave up ?
For the newcomers who own a blog, check https://100daystooffload.com it's a nice #challenge
Thanks! Do you use Org drawers other than the LOGBOOK? If so, what are their use cases? An idea is brewing on if I should start parsing any :Foo: drawer into a 'foo' front-matter variable.
If you haven't used the #orgMode LOGBOOK notes feature, check out this post where I show how I use that to add update notes to my blog posts: https://scripter.co/using-org-logbook-notes-to-record-blog-post-updates/

I add a note with a timestamp to my post, if the change is tangible (very subjective). I don't add those update notes for minor typos and such. The act of adding that note also updates the lastmod parameter (#hugo) of the post.
Example: See the date stamped note at the top of this post: https://scripter.co/linking-and-exporting-org-info-links/

'Call Of Cthulhu' - watercolour on board. I originally painted this digitally a few years ago but wanted to put it in watercolour ever since! Original and prints available! https://www.emilyhare.co.uk

Thanks to all the recent discussions I decided to write about my recent journey switching from #fish on gnome terminal to #zsh on #alacritty with #starship. I'm still figuring it out, but if you see something odd or have suggestions, I'd love feedback:

Thanks for the help @davy
I find watching movies akin to time traveling, especially when watching movies using a projector, in a dark room, immersive sounds and all that.
Today's post is on how to cleanly install development version of #orgMode: https://scripter.co/building-org-development-version/ (I've linked the original post from 2017 in that post).
This is the first time that I did a post rewrite than just editing the old post, because a lot of things needed to be updated this time. It was fun to create a versioned post of an original post, and making use of #Hugo's _build front matter to "unlist" the old post, but still have it accessible via its URL.
Day 20 of #100DaysToOffload
I'm finding myself being able to publish new posts relatively quickly than what I was able to before I got onto the #100DaysToOffload challenge. I'm really thankful that that thing exists! (I still don't think I'll finish 100 posts in a year, but I reached my personal accomplishment of 20 posts in about 3 months today.)
Today's post was a rewrite of an old post prompted by this #orgMode related Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/uombk4/org_version_in_first_run_of_initel/

📢 If you like using the #orgMode LOGBOOK drawers to save state changes and notes, I just added a new feature ✨ to #oxHugo that parses that information to a new `logbook` front-matter.
*Testers needed for this new feature. Update to the latest `ox-hugo` version from MELPA.*
Documentation: https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/doc/drawers/#logbook-drawer
