Note added with a capture template, though I still need to manually assemble a bit.
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "Tumblelog" entry
(file+olp+datetree bmw/tumble-log)
"* %U %?\n:properties:\n:export_file_name: nnn.md\n:end:\n")
))
Less manual construction than a couple minutes ago!
I’ll have to learn some Elisp to make it work how it does in my head.
