Blogging from TextMate

And, by way of follow-up to my post yesterday, here is my very first post written entirely in TextMate, and entirely in Markdown. Pretty awesome stuff.

So here are a couple of links for you:

• First, the process of blogging from TextMate. It’s actually pretty easy.
• Second, a screencast on how to do it.
• Thirdly, how to solve a dateTime error that occurs while fetching posts.
• Finally, how to ignore HTML by writing and editing entirely in Markdown.

On a final note, and in response to this post I wrote a month or so back, TextMate is seriously awesome. I bought it. They gave me 15% off. (What will I do when I’m no longer a student?) And I cannot believe how seriously core this is becoming in my workflow. It’s nuts. Can this text editor do everything?

I’ve just added blogging to the list, along with coding and taking sermon notes, and journalling. Maybe I should write a journalling bundle? That would be pretty awesome. Just build in some native FTP support and I will be super happy! A project which is an FTP mirror of a website, with automatic uploading and all that…would seriously be cool.

So here’s to TextMate!
