Blogging in TextMate

I’ve been getting more and more into using Textmate as my choice editor, despite continuing to need Zend for Quicken Loans as I need to work on remote files (over VPN) and the drawer update issue makes it simply unworkable. (One must wait minutes to bring TM to focus.)

Well, I wanted a nice way to blog without going into the Typo control panel. MarsEdit is cool, and so is ecto, but both are commercial software, and I already have a license for my beloved Textmate.

Actually, I would have tried blogging with Textmate much sooner, but there was some weird issue with it when connecting to my blog, despite the other two aforementioned editors working just fine. Someone in the #Textmate IRC channel suggested reloading my bundles (Bundles -> Bundle Editor -> Reload Bundles). And that seems to have solved whatever problem I was experiencing, because now Textmate blogging works just fine.

Wh00t.
