I’ve installed Prelude Emacs, hoping that it will support my desire to easily embed images in my journal entries. To insert an image, I need to insert soemthing like this:

![alt text](/path/to/image.png)

The idea is that I type some keys, in this case C-x ! and I interactively am asked for the alt text and then can quickly get a list of images based on the year/month of my current journal entry, in this case 2014/11.

Based on hakyll.el, I got the first part sorted:

(defun hakyll-insert-image (alt-text)
  "Insert an image from /images/yyyy/mm to current buffer /posts/yyyy/mm/dd/....md"
  (interactive "sAltText: ")
  (let ((current-buffer-filename (buffer-file-name)))
    (insert
     (format "![%s](%s)"
         alt-text
         current-buffer-filename
         ))
    )
  )

So instead of inserting the current buffer filename, I want to parse the current buffer filename for yyyy/mm and then select a file from ~/journal/images/yyyy/mm and insert (part of) its name instead.

I made a Trello list of things I want to do on this journal
